PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES:
As Chief of the Vascular Surgery Section at Tripler Army Medical Center (TAMC), I accomplished the following:
- Doubled the vascular operative caseload
- Tripled the vascular clinic outpatient visit
- Staffed weekly general surgery clinic
- Directed and staffed our noninvasive vascular lab
- Organized and administered surgical resident education including a weekly quiz, a monthly operative pig lab and regular vascular and trauma conferences
- Co directed and staffed our surgical ICU
- Regularly participated in Hawaii Vascular Society Meetings and several TAMC standing committees
- Obtained additional ABS certification
- Received the Army Achievement Medal, Nov 91
Upon finishing active duty in September 1992, I accepted a position as a salaried staff surgeon at The Caritas Carney Hospital. Here I provided general and vascular surgery and surgical critical care consultation services; staffed our vascular lab; conduct regular teaching conferences and performed various administrative duties.
In October of 1995, I embarked on a solo private practice of general surgery, which I continue to enjoy today. Direct patient care, teaching responsibilities and administrative activities continue to consume my work days.
