I was very fortunate to do my oncology training at the University of Chicago before I joined the group as a physician. And what I found in working with my cofellows, my mentors, the attending physicians is that this is an incredibly collaborative atmosphere, an incredibly collegial atmosphere, and truly a patient-first atmosphere that any of the work we do, whether it's direct clinical care or looking to advance the science of medicine through clinical research is all in the name of doing what's best for our patients.
My philosophy of care is to work very closely with my patients to find the treatment regimen or the treatment approach that's best for them. That means letting them know what I think should be recommended and then helping to bridge that with their preferences, and ultimately work together to formulate a plan that we can enact to preserve not just treatment options but also the quality of life and the preferences that are important for the patient. In my training something that I've been very fortunate to do is in addition to providing clinical care for patients, I'm an active clinical researcher and clinical investigator meaning I work very hard to try and develop and run trials that will be investigating novel therapies that can hopefully advance the standard of care for our patients while doing so in a safe way.
