Clinical judgment and policy
work, in the same place.
Healthcare AI policy is being written right now, often by people who have never sat with a patient in crisis or weighed a difficult diagnosis under uncertainty. I think clinicians belong in that conversation, and that the people writing the rules need to understand what the technology actually does when it meets a human being who is unwell.
I write about that intersection on Substack and LinkedIn, take selected forensic engagements, and continue to see patients in private practice. The pages below give you a fuller picture of the work.

What I am working on
Second year of law school at Cleveland State University College of Law, on track to graduate in December 2027. My academic focus is on the regulation of artificial intelligence in healthcare, including the interaction between HIPAA, state privacy laws, and the practical realities of AI tools that touch patient data.
I write regularly on Substack and contribute on LinkedIn. I continue my work as a psychiatrist and psychiatric forensic expert.
