In honor of National Doctors’ Day on March 30, Tripler Army Medical Center is featuring one doctor each day this week. The annual observance serves as an opportunity to honor the dedication, skill and unwavering commitment of physicians in providing high-quality care at TAMC and beyond. 

Q: How have things changed for doctors in the recent years?
Things have become more and more specialized. While there is still much we don’t know, we are learning so much it takes a larger team to be able to master the complexity of medicine.
 
Q: What’s the biggest challenge you have faced this year?
My biggest challenge is maintaining excellence in interoperating the vast variety of exams we perform at Tripler. Even just within my field it seems there is an endless supply of knowledge to obtain.
