I am a professor and chief of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, as well as the associate dean for Global Health and the director of Global Health Education at Wake Forest School of Medicine. After earning my medical degree and completing a pediatric residency in Mumbai, India, I completed a pediatric residency and ambulatory/general academic pediatric fellowship at Louisiana State University School of Medicine, followed by fellowship training in Pediatric Infectious Disease at Stanford University School of Medicine. I joined the faculty at Wake Forest School of Medicine in 2001.
