Hi, I'm Shawn.
I'm a doctor with a clear, demonstrated interest in anaesthesia with 9 months experience each in anaesthesia & intensive care, and have completed a department IAAC's assessment that Introductory Trainees normally complete.
I am committed to research and quality improvement with published research, presentations and audits, with the following areas of interest:
Emergency medical systems
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
Design thinking and human factors in medicine
Outside medicine, I am a part-time idealist dreaming about ways to leave the world a better place. Talk to me about:
Healthcare financing & policy
Public policy and inequality
