Research Interest
I am the Hillenbrand Professor of Thoracic Oncology and Vice Chair of Medicine for Faculty Development at the Medicine Medical University of South Carolina. I am a lung cancer pulmonologist with renowned expertise in the evaluation, management, and improvement of outcomes of patients with lung cancer. I conduct patient-oriented clinical research studies that encompass nearly every aspect of lung cancer care, including lung cancer screening, disparities in cancer care, shared decision-making, and the evaluation and management of pulmonary nodules. I have a graduate degree in the evaluative clinical sciences, and I apply the health services research techniques I learned to many aspects of lung cancer care.
