The purpose of this application is promotion from the rank of Assistant professor to associate professor at University of Toledo. I have been a part of department of internal medicine since joining here as a resident in 2004. I completed my fellowship in geriatric medicine and after some years of private practice returned to actively participate in the mission of University of Toledo. I am currently involved in teaching the medical students, residents and fellows in the outpatient and inpatient settings. I have been able to participate in scholarly activity and publish many abstracts and papers. Doing rounds at hospital and providing geriatric consults are some of my other roles. I have been involved with administrative roles as well – including being active on committees and in role of program director for the fellowship program. I feel I am fully intevested in mission, vision and values of University of Toledo.
