The Zach Highley Show

Dr. David Oxman is a Critical Care Doctor and associate professor of medicine here at Jefferson and the program director for the critical care medicine fellowship. He went to medical school at Temple, where he also completed his residency in IM. HE completed four fellowships in Infectious Diseases at Tufts, Surgical Critical Care at Harvard, Medical critical care at Hahnemann, and Medical ethics at Harvard. He is currently the medical school's ethics and professionalism thread director and runs the hospital ethics consultation service here at Jefferson. I also had the personal luxury of being in a student group led by Dr. Oxman, where we had discussions about being medical students and our hospital experiences.
