I selected the field of radiation oncology because it offered a unique blend of art and science where I could treat and cure a serious disease. My introduction to the field started at a young age as my father was a radiation oncologist when the specialty was in its infancy, but even then I saw how rewarding the job could be and so I pursued the specialty when I entered medical school. As I gained clinical experience in my residency, my passion for treating patients with cancer and improving the quality of care I could deliver grew. I decided after residency to take additional training in brachytherapy at the Gustave-Roussy Institute in France. I was able to perform numerous procedures and gain extensive practical experience. In addition, I saw the field from a different perspective which allowed me to grow as a physician. All of this training prepared me well for a career in academic radiation oncology. When I joined the faculty at NYU, I became a clinician educator, which allowed me to treat patients in the most advanced manner possible and also impart this knowledge to residents and medical students. I joined the faculty at Â鶹´«Ã½¸ßÇå°æ in 2018 and look forward to continuing to advance the field. I am also honored to be the Residency Program Director so that I can teach and mentor fine young physicians as they begin their careers.
