Updates: Hi there! It’s been a long time since I’ve been in touch, sorry about that! The past several years have been exciting overall. After medical school at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, I did my residency at the same place. I went to the University of California at San Francisco for a one-year liver transplant anesthesiology fellowship and stayed there for four years additionally as an attending. This was great as the department was very supportive at getting a young attending career off the ground with plenty of research resources. After that, I moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to join the Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine as a liver transplant anesthesiologist at the Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, I’ve continued my research efforts, broadened to quality improvement and patient safety as well. In the meantime, my wife, Anjali, and I have had two beautiful daughters, Asha, and Maya. The whole family is doing great here! Overall, things are going well. I’ve been able to meet some great people through national societies like the American Society of Anesthesiologists, the Society for the Advancement of Transplant Anesthesiologists, and the International Liver Transplant Society. I have presented topics and held workshops around the world, including the Netherlands and coming up in Geneva this year. It’s been great to meet other people around the world and learn how they’re practicing medicine for the same thing but in different ways. Hopefully looking forward to a rank promotion for full professor in a couple of years. I guess we’ll see what the future holds!
