My primary clinical role is to see people living with HIV in our UVA Ryan White Clinic. I also attend on the general infectious diseases consult service in the hospital. I’m the physician lead for infection control and antibiotic stewardship at Culpeper Medical Center. When I was an undergraduate at Wake Forest University, I had the opportunity to go to South Africa to work on a project related to HIV. I was at one of the townships outside of Cape Town, and ever since then, HIV has really been my passion. I really care a lot about treating folks with HIV. It’s a really rewarding part of our job. We have fantastic treatment, so we can do a great deal of good for people who often come in to see us not really knowing how much we can do for them. When we see new patients in our Ryan White clinic, we get people integrated into the clinic as a whole. We have a constellation of folks who are there to help you out. Not only physicians but also our nurses, our social workers and our case managers. Our goal is to identify what needs you have, both medically and kind of in your daily life, so that you can be successful with adhering to therapy, and make sure that we get those resources for you. I think UVA combines academic rigor and clinical excellence, and people who really passionately care about our patients. All the folks that I’ve worked with really put our patients first. And we also have the ability to kind of take advantage of cutting-edge treatments and kind of bring new things from the literature to the bedside as rapidly as possible.
