With deep gratitude and honor I will be embarking on a new role as Associate Chief Medical Officer (ACMO) of The Johns Hopkins Hospital @HopkinsMedicine as of January 2026.
Hopkins has been home since 2007—first as a trainee in the @OslerResidency program, to now 10th year on faculty @hopkinsheart. Profoundly thankful to mentors, colleagues, and teams for their support, guidance, and trust over the years. Grateful for patients who allow us the privilege of caring for them and who continue to inspire our work every day. Most of all, grateful for Pravin Rao and our families, for their unwavering support.
Looking forward to collaborating with and learning from amazing colleagues - the best of the best - in advancing patient care, quality, and program building at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, with gratitude and excitement for what’s ahead.

We are proud of the progress reflected in this year’s Impact Factor of 9.9, but even more proud of what all of this represents.
A heartfelt THANK YOU to our entire JCF Family. Your engagement as authors, reviewers, readers, and mentors continues to drive this collective success.
Incredible celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Osler Internal Medicine Residency Firms this weekend! Amazing symposium on the history and future of the Firm system - from the first Assistant Chiefs of Service, former Dept Chairs, program directors, and the most hearwarming reunion dinner with decades of #legends of the O together. So much gratitude to have trained, taught, and grown in this program - one like no other.
