Information for Referring Providers

Research Interest for Referring Providers
My clinical work as a primary care geriatrician and palliative medicine physician informs my research on advance care planning (ACP) for older adults and their family members. My current research focuses on developing, testing and implementing a novel ACP Group Visit intervention that engages patients in a supportive group discussion to promote ACP discussions and documentation of preferences.
