He is a writer and speaker, who has led writing workshops at The Examined Life Conference, the International Health Humanities meeting, the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), and the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (NAPNAP). His creative essays are featured in Pulse, Hektoen International, Ars Medica, and Physicians Practice.
He learned the healing power of writing when his daughter got sick, and he experienced the medical system from a parent’s perspective. He has presented research posters describing benefits of the 3MMM at several national conferences, including the annual meeting of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Johns Hopkins ICU Conference, and the Examined Life Conference.
