I am an associate professor and hospitalist at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine in Springfield, Illinois and the recipient of the general internal medicine teacher of the year award for my first year on the faculty.

In 2012, I created the first Business in Medicine course at SIU as a 4th year medical school elective.  Over time, this course evolved from a face to face flipped classroom course to a MOOC hosted on Udemy with over 5,000 participants worldwide.
