I am an academic physician scientist with specialty practice in the area of hematologic malignancies. My research focus is on cancer immunology. I have published multiple papers on the biology of the blood cancer multiple myeloma. I am currently in practice and see patient in both the inpatient and outpatient setting. I am also Co-Director of an autologous stem cell transplant program.

Allyson received her medical degree from the UC Berkeley - UCSF Joint Medical Program, during which she completed research in global health and was awarded a FASPE fellowship (Fellowship at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics). She then moved to Seattle for training in Internal Medicine at the University of Washington, where she was active in work on primary care innovation, resident and medical student wellness, and teaching about communication.

Brian is a third year internal medicine resident at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts. 

I am currently a third year Internal Medicine resident at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. I will be pursuing a fellowship in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine after completing a Chief Resident year. 

Dr. Rosenberg is a fellow in Hospice and Palliative Medicine at the University of South Florida.  He completed a residency in Psychiatry at the University of Maryland Medical Center.  He is the Editor-in-Chief of the American Journal of Psychiatry Residents' Journal.

I completed medical school at Sidney Kimmel Medical College (formerly Jefferson Medical College) in Philadelphia, PA and my residency training in Internal Medicine at George Washington University Hospital in DC. I am currently pursuing a 1-year fellowship in Medical Education at GW and then plan to continue to work as an academic hospitalist with a focus on medical education. Specific topics of interest include the incorporation of education training and theory into the medical school/residency curriculum and faculty developement in best educational practices (with a focus on hospitalists).

My experiences in training and clinical practice at the Texas/Mexico border, the Bronx, and in socialized New Zealand have all made me the physician that I am today: practicing and learning medicine in such disparate environments served to underscore the importance of seeking to empathically understand each patient’s narrative and their social context as equally as elucidating their underlying diagnosis. I currently focus my clinical effort in two areas:  as a palliative care physician at Parkland Hospital, a safety net health system in Dallas, and an academic hospitalist in both a quartenary university hospital system and Parkland Hospital. In my role as UT Southwestern Internal Medicine Clerkship Co-director and Colleges Mentor, I create a safe learning environment in which our learners continually strive to grow in the application of evidence-based medicine, aspire to view medicine from their patients’ perspectives with empathy and embed reflection into their daily practice.
