I am an occupational/environmental medicine physician board-certified by the American Board of Preventive Medicine in Occupational Medicine and the American Board of Independent Medical Examiners.
As a member of the International Medical Commission on Bhopal disaster, I have designed and published the first long-term health effects studies on the exposed community. My work on exposure assessment in the gas victims is being used as a teaching tool in environmental epidemiology. My international experience includes evaluation of hazardous industries in India. My work at CDC/ATSDR has involved evaluation of communities exposed to hazardous agents.
In clinical practice, I have many years of experience in the area of workmens’ compensation and non-surgical orthopedics. In 2005, I served as physician to the CNN news team covering the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and in 2018 worked on a medical mission with the Migrant Caravan consisting of refugees from Central America. I am the former Medical Director of the Occupational Health Clinics, Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, Atlanta, GA.
