@RodneyGabrielMD @NIH Congratulations!! 🔥👏🏻

Feeling incredibly grateful to share that our team has received funding from the @NIH to continue advancing #multimodalAI in critical care.

Proud to introduce our newest regional anesthesia and acute pain fellow, Dr. Ko!

From day one, he’s jumped right in with curiosity, skill, and a genuine passion for patient care. Excited to learn and grow alongside him this year. Here's to the journey ahead! @UCSDHealth
