Personal Statement
My experience in the Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Fellowship, Pediatric Critical Care Fellowship and Pediatric Cardiology fellowship has provided the thorough clinical background necessary to succeed in patient care and clinical education. My practice in cardiovascular critical care medicine at Texas Children’s Hospital/Baylor College of Medicine and my master’s degree in data science with a focus on machine learning have given me with the tools to succeed in clinical educational research related to data science and predictive analytics in medicine. More importantly, my experience allows me to provide excellent clinical care to patients at Texas Children’s.
My current studies are focused on 1) designing a model to predict extubation failure in the single ventricle population and 2) designing a congenital heart disease (CHD) physiology simulator that will be an educational tool for those interested in the complex physiology of CHD and patients with single ventricle physiology.
I am currently mentoring fellows, BCM students and Texas Children’s experts in data science to bring these tools to the bedside in the cardiovascular intensive care unit. I plan to continue teaching this topic to cardiology students and colleagues whenever needed.
