Biography

 

   I have spent my career as clinician, researcher, educator, and administrator involved in the care of HIV-infected patients.  I have published 27 manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals on HIV especially related to women, cancer, and the underserved community. Currently, I am Infectious Diseases Associate Clinical Division Chief, Medical Director of the University of Arizona AIDS Education and Training Center, Director of the HIV Translational Research Program, Medical Director of the Banner University Refugee Prevention Screening Clinic, and an internal medicine residency program core faculty member.  I am participating in multiple research projects including serving as a co-investigator in a NIH multisite study called "the Randomized Trial to Prevent Vascular Events in HIV"; serving as the principle investigator (PI) on two studies  on knowledge, attitudes and barriers to HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) in underserved populations; and serving as the PI in a study of HIV safety labs. All of these studies involve medical students, MPH students, and/or infectious diseases (ID) fellows, They serve as vehicles for trainees to learn how to conduct different types of research in various setting.  In a similar manner, I remain very active in teaching medical students and MPH students, residents, ID fellows, and outside medical providers about clinical medicine both in lectures and while providing care.
