Independent expertise in veterinary anesthesia, patient safety, and clinical systems
About
I am a board-certified veterinary anesthesiologist with clinical, educational, and leadership experience spanning North America and the Asia-Pacific region. In addition to clinical anesthesia and teaching, my work has focused on systems-level aspects of hospital and program development, including benchmarking of clinical services, accreditation-related review, patient safety initiatives, and staff development.
As a former medical director of two large referral hospitals, I have experience in new hospital planning, infrastructure and equipment procurement, implementation of standard operating procedures, and the evaluation of clinical workflows in complex environments. This background informs my approach to professional education, advisory work, and collaborative projects, with an emphasis on safety, practicality, and sustainable implementation in diverse practice settings.
Services
I provide independent, high-level professional services for veterinary hospitals, educational programs, professional organizations, and industry partners. Work is undertaken by invitation or direct inquiry and is tailored to institutional needs and local practice environments. I selectively engage in a limited number of institutional advisory and consultative roles each year, focused on anesthesia safety, clinical governance, and specialty service development in tertiary-care settings.
Advanced anesthesia education for professional audiences, with an emphasis on clinical decision-making, risk assessment, and patient safety. Educational activities include invited lectures, structured staff development initiatives, and the development of educational materials for institutional use. Selected educational modules are available for licensing and integration into existing training programs.
Independent review and advisory input related to anesthesia services, education programs, and clinical systems. This may include benchmarking of services, accreditation-related review, evaluation of clinical workflows, and consultation on patient safety initiatives, monitoring standards, and service organization. Collaboration with professional organizations and industry partners on education-focused projects, content development, and strategic initiatives related to anesthesia, monitoring, and patient safety.
Advisory support for hospitals and organizations involved in new facility planning or service expansion. Areas of focus include anesthesia infrastructure design, equipment selection and procurement, workflow planning, and alignment of clinical capabilities with safety and operational goals.
International Experience

My work has included invited educational activities for large professional audiences, collaboration with hospitals and industry partners, and advisory input on patient safety and service development. This experience informs my approach to international education and advisory work, with particular attention to local practice environments and sustainable implementation.
