Overview

overview

Training/Education:
Residency: University of California, San Francisco
Medical School: Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine
Undergraduate: Chemical Engineering, Northwestern University

After completing his residency training, Dr. Suresh went on to work in a busy private practice in Northern California. He joined the faculty at UC San Diego in 2008 to serve on the obstetric anesthesia and regional anesthesia teaching services. He now serves the School of Medicine as Associate Dean for Medical Education in Simulation.

His current research projects involve improving use of augmented reality in healthcare, medical device development, and using sensors to objectively measure laryngoscopy skill.

Altmetrics Details

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
