I am a physician and health services researcher. I am currently a heart failure cardiologist and associate professor at Southern Arizona VA Health Care System and University of Arizona College of Medicine, Tucson. I am passionate about using implementation science and real-world data methods to improve quality of care for patients with heart disease. I am funded by VA Health Service Research and Development to study how physician-directed 'nudges' can improve heart failure prescribing behavior. I lead quality improvement and research projects to improve diagnosis of cardiac amyloid which is an increasingly identified cause of heart disease.
