Title: 

The Role of Radiation Therapy in Palliative Care

Bio:   

I am a clinically active academic radiation oncologist specializing in genitourinary malignancies (e.g. prostate and bladder cancer). Born and raised in Raleigh, North Carolina, I attended the University of Virginia (undergrad, biomedical engineering) and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (medical school). I did residency at the Harvard Radiation Oncology Program in Boston, Massachusetts, where I finished as chief resident. Professional interests include health services research with a special interest in comparative/cost effectiveness, the cost of care, health policy, and the physician workforce. These interests led to an MPH from the Harvard School of Public Health. Other passions include basketball, and I was thrilled to see the 2018 University of Virginia Cavaliers men’s basketball team take home their first national championship.
