I have lived and practiced in New Mexico for about 5 years now and I love it. The patient population is diverse and rewarding. The opportunities for research, medical education and to push the boundaries of medicine to help our patients are excellent. I am in a unique situation where I have the opportunity to practice Intensive Care medicine both in our Trauma/ Surgical ICU and Neurosciences ICU as well as continue my practice in the Emergency department. Bridging the gaps between the various disciplines has been a challenging but fruitful endeavor. In particular, it is my mission to instill in our Emergency Medicine training, the paradigm that “Critical Care is a mindset; not a location” as I believe Emergency Physicians need to be intensivists at heart.
