Biography

As a Resident in the Radiology Department at UCSF, I have been involved in conducting research studies on various medical topics such as cost-effectiveness analyses in diagnostic and interventional radiology, feasibility of question prompt list in outpatient cancer care, and outcomes of percutaneous cryoablation for stage 1 renal cell carcinoma. I have also contributed to quality improvement projects related to the reporting of incidental findings and procedural workflow optimization.
