He is the lead
physician in Sinai's Ryan White initiative, which provides medical care and social assistance

In his role as Program Director for the Internal Medicine residency program at Sinai, he
teaches an annual course series in Evidence-Based Medicine, among many other duties.
He also does Infectious Diseases outreach in Baltimore television and print media, and is the
guest-in-residence on the monthly Midday on Health show with Dan Rodricks on 88.1 WYPR
