I’m a trauma specialist and emergency physician at Schneider Children’s Medical Center and faculty at Tel Aviv University. I am currently working to establish the first Israeli trauma service dedicated to children. Outdoors, I provide emergency care in complex pre-hospital settings. I teach trauma and emergency medicine with the Israeli and European Societies for Emergency Medicine and with the Australian National Trauma Research Institute.

I graduated from the Hebrew University School of Medicine and its affiliated honors program in Mt. Sinai hospital, New York, trained in emergency medicine and pediatrics at Rambam Medical Center (cum laude and Excellent Researcher Award) and in trauma at The Alfred Major Trauma Service and the National Trauma Research Institute, Australia’s largest service. 

For my doctorate at the Weizmann Institute, I studied large datasets of neural activity under anesthesia. Today, as the ED’s research lead, I focus on pediatric trauma, predictors of life-threatening conditions, and the need for interventions. Projects leverage multi-disciplinary teams and multi-center datasets and are frequently presented internationally. Recent works have been published in leading journals such as The Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, Injury, The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, Anesthesiology, and The British Journal of Anesthesia.

Bottom line: I'm a trauma doc on a spinning rock trying to have coffee...
