SFMMS/CMA Committees or Offices None Previously I worked as a non-profit Program Director and teacher. I volunteered with various organizations locally and abroad. I have co-organized health conferences, collaborated with different agencies and developed program initiatives. Through these experiences and working in hospitals across the country, I acquired the skills to educate, communicate and advocate. I am passionate about the intersection of health and social justice. Through my work with various communities via education, community organizing and empowerment, I have acquired a holistic understanding of health and wellness. I look forward to collaborate, innovate and build with my medical community during this turbulent time. I’m currently a PGY-2 resident at UCSF in the Pediatric Leaders Advancing Health Equity (PLUS) program. My program mission is to train pediatric residents to advance health equity for children and families, and includes training in leadership, community health, and health poli-
cy in addition to excellent clinical training.

In my 2 years on the Calfornia delegation to the AMA, I created and implemented an electronic system to track resolutions and reports that amplified our voice and our effectiveness. I fundamentally believe that advocacy is a core part of our profession. I’m proud to call SFMMS my home in organized medicine, with its history of challenging the status quo and pushing our systems to do the right thing for our patients and our profession.

Dermatology Internal Medicine
Current Job Positions and Hospital and Teaching Affiliations Attending Dermatologist, Alameda Health Systems Assistant Professor of Dermatology, University of California-San Francisco SFMMS/CMA Committees or Offices None Additional Relevant Experience During my time in residency at UCSF, I was able to interact with different hospital systems across San Francisco (VA, ZSFG, UCSF) and was also able to gain exposure to a variety of different private practices physicians during that time. Why Are You Interested in Serving? I believe that it is important for physicians to participate in the work of solving some of the complex problems in the delivery of quality health care, and I look forward to assisting other physicians in that work. One of the great strengths in this society is the diversity of experience, backgrounds, and viewpoints and I hope to help carry that legacy forward. Assistant Clinical Professor, Division of
General Internal Medicine, UCSF Member, CMA Board of Trustees Chair, CMA Healthy California for All Technical Advisory Committee Alternate Delegate, CMA House of Delegates Member, CMA Council on Legislation Member, CMA Health Reform Technical Advisory Committee Since working in the U.S. House of Representatives and the California Legislature a decade ago, I have used this experience to advocate for a more equitable health care system. Currently, I serve as Director of Health Care Advocacy for the Division of General Internal Medicine and Co-Director of the Community Engagement Rotation at UCSF, where I develop curricula in community engagement and advocacy and collaborate with faculty to expand the impact of their work. Since joining SFMMS five years ago, I have been so impressed by the organization’s focus on patients and public health. With the new group membership for UCSF physicians to join SFMMS/CMA, I would help the Nominations Committee to identify these new members and consider them for leadership roles.
Internal Medicine
Internist, Department of Adult and Family Medicine, Kaiser San Francisco Medical Center; Volunteer Clinical Associate Professor, UCSF School of Medicine
None During my medical training I served in various leadership roles within the Student National Medical Association (SNMA), including serving as former President of the University of Iowa SNMA, as well as on regional and national committees. My core efforts focused on recruiting and supporting underrepresented students in medicine, addressing health inequities and cultivating socially conscious physicians. Today I look forward to focusing my efforts on physician-patient advocacy in the
community that I now serve. A global pandemic has highlighted the inequities of care delivery, the importance of physician advocacy and need for collaboration within the medical community. I am interested in recruiting new physicians of diverse backgrounds and experiences into the medical society to shape policy and improve the health of our community.

SFMMS/CMA Committees or Offices SFMMS Physician Wellness Committee Additional Relevant Experience I currently serve as a member on the board of the North Bay Chapter of the California Academy of Family Physicians. Over the last two years we have been active at hosting events related to ACA and physician wellness. I have also been an active participant at the CAFP’s annual All Members Advocacy Meeting. Why Are You Interested in Serving? Working at a Community Health Center has illuminated the importance of physician voices at the legislative level to shape policy. Whether it’s protecting the doctor-patient relationship from erosion by the barrage of EHR requirements, ensuring that people have access to high-quality care, or addressing physician burnout, it starts with policy change. I am a solo private practice dermatologist and the principal investigator of a clinical trials unit that focuses on phase III trials on dermatologic treatments.

I also have the honor of representing SFMMS on the San Francisco Health Plan (SFHP) Board of Governors as an appointed SF County Commissioner since 2015. I’ve been the chair of our SFMMS delegation to the CMA for the past three years and I hope that I can use this experience to serve both SFMMS and CMA well in the capacity as your representative to the CMA Board of Trustees. I humbly ask for your vote.

Executive Committee I have held a leadership role as a Hospitalist Medical Director at Cogent Health Care where I helped start a Hospitalist program from the ground up.

I have worked in many hospital settings including Acute, Subacute, LTAC and outpatient arenas which I believe help a physician better understand the medical climate.
I am aware of the need to be more politically active in healthcare and the need to actively foster change towards a stronger and healthier community. Interest in connecting the diverse ethnic and cultural members, the younger physicians that are new to the community, as well as inspire women leaders.
