Major Research Theme
My major research interests include improving the care of patients with chronic illness and developing new models of primary care that address the current crisis in primary care.  I have particular interest in the use of integrative medical therapies for the treatment of chronic illness and, as examples, have ongoing studies on the use of Tai Chi ( a meditative form of gentle exercise) as adjunctive therapy for patients with chronic heart failure or pulmonary disease.
