He then obtained dual fellowship training in Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology at Yale University. Prior to joining WCMC/NYP, he worked at Drexel University College of Medicine in Philadelphia, seeing inpatient and outpatient general ID consults with fellows and running the infection control program at Hahnemann University Hospital.
