Biosketch

I graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 1993, then attended medical school at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. I completed a combined residency in Emergency Medicine and Internal Medicine in 2003, and then joined our faculty. I accepted a position as Assistant Dean of Student Affairs in 2005. I was appointed Assistant Dean for Clinical Medical Education and Residency Programs Liaison in 2016.

I am an active lecturer on the local, national, and international level, with a particular interest in abdominal and gastrointestinal emergencies, as well as medical student education. In addition, I am certified as a trainer by the American Academy on Communication in Healthcare.

I am married to an internist and alumnus of the University of Maryland School of Medicine, Lisa (Kilburg) Martinez, class of '96. We have three boys.
