Championing health equity, primary care, quality improvement and safety, health education, and behavioral health in medicine.
Philosophical
I am a scientist who sees a necessity for the existence of an Unmoved Mover. Through logical argument, this has led me to a firm faith in the God of the Bible. I follow the teachings of Jesus Christ from the gospels, and feel that individual and small group Bible study has been the best model for learning and discussing faith. It has been my experience that in some large groups, critical analysis diminishes; when people stop refining each other, faith becomes dull and warps.
Linguistic
I got hooked on SE through Spanish Language SE. I am a native English speaker, fluent in Spanish via immersion study abroad, and a certified Spanish healthcare interpreter. I minored in French and have studied basic Japanese.
