He obtained his subspecialty training in trauma surgery and critical care at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami. During his fellowship training he also completed a Masters of Public Health at the University of Miami. In addition to his passion for clinical practice, Dan has developed an avid interest in global surgery education and development, as well as disaster preparedness and response. Much of this interest is founded upon on-site clinical work in government hospitals in East Africa as well as disaster response missions in Somalia, Kenya, Turks and Caicos, and most recently in Haiti. This clinical experience is the basis for ongoing capacity building programs in low and middle income nations.
