He was the author of a review chapter to help other physicians prepare for the pain medicine board certification exam and has presented at many national meetings on various topics related both to PM&R and pain medicine. He has also served as an instructor for an ultrasound for a national orthopedic conference and for Mayo medical students in musculoskeletal history and examination at their annual musculoskeletal medicine course.
