Sameer Malhotra MD, MA

I am an Internist with a keen interest and sound temperament towards Critical care medicine and Biomedical Informatics. The following are some of my research interests:

· Role of therapeutic hypothermia in critical care.

· Patient safety, human-computer interaction (HCI), workflow in medicine/ critical care medicine.

· Electronic Health records, Clinical Document Architecture (CDA).

Following are areas that I look forward to finding research opportunities in:

· Translational Informatics, population based studies in Pulmonary Medicine.
