MEET THE DOCTOR
WHAT DOES A "TYPICAL"
DAY-IN-THE-LIFE LOOK LIKE
FOR YOU IN YOUR CURRENT
POSITION?
I am currently spending the majority of
my time working on research ideas, but
I also fll in for radiation oncologists
at CTCA in Tulsa and at other CTCA
facilities when necessary. On a typical
day, I will work on a few protocols,
review articles and have some meetings
or email discussions with other doctors
about ideas we are interested in. This
might be broken up by a consultation or
two, designing some radiation treatment
plans and checking radiation treatment
patient setups on the CyberKnife
machine. I like balancing the clinical
work with research.
WHAT HOBBIES OR INTERESTS
DO YOU PURSUE IN YOUR FREE
TIME?
I like to train for and participate in
bicycle tours. I've biked across Oklahoma and participated in 100-mile bike
tours in the past, and I look forward
to introducing my seven-year-old son
to this sport. I also enjoy photography,
especially urban black-and-white photography, and I like to experiment with
Photoshop.
