Bob Sheretz, MD, core faculty
I have had a fulfilling career in academic medicine (Infectious Diseases) before transitioning to being a teaching hospitalist. My passion is stimulating the next generation of physicians by helping them to think about the why's and whats's of clinical decision making, and by taking them on bedside rounds to emphasize the value of patient interaction. Away from medicine, I enjoy staying active with pursuits like paddle boarding, spending time with my family, and indulging in sci-fi media.
