Description  

My research interests relate to clinical and outcomes–based research, particularly in labor and delivery. With Dr. Edmund Funai, I have worked on developing and studying the comprehensive patient safety program at Yale, which has demonstrated significant improvements in obstetrical adverse outcome rates. My work continues to focus on patient safety and quality improvement in obstetrics.
