His specific focus is on the use of violence and police force within hospital settings, especially when this is directed at homeless populations and patients from racial and ethnic minority backgrounds. He has done extensive clinical work with under-served populations in emergency settings, forensic settings, shelter settings, and on street outreach teams. He has authored papers and book chapters on structural racism, health system design, and the care of homeless patients with severe and persistent psychiatric illness.
