I'm Jed Walpaw, and I am thrilled to be back with another master clinician episode,

this time with a great friend and true master clinician, Dr. David Stahl.

Dave and I were in medical school together, as listeners may know, since we've done some episodes.

He's been on ACRAC before, and we've mentioned that.

And he has served as a program director for a while and is now a division chief.

I'll let him give a little update on his career, but he's become really a sought after teacher and mentor and a great friend.

And I'm thrilled to have him on as our next master clinician.

Dave, welcome to the show.

Thank you.

It's great to be back.

So maybe just give people a little bit of a story.

Where has your path gone?

What do you do now and how did you get there?

Sure. As you mentioned,

we were in medical school at UCSF together. I then went back to Boston to do a medical internship at MGH and then I stayed to do residency and critical care fellowship there at MGH as well.

And then I moved to the middle of the country, Columbus, Ohio, to be on the faculty at Ohio
