Research Overview

Dr. Daniel’s research is focused on examining how clinicians take advantage of the Internet and online learning to build knowledge, share information, and enhance their clinical practice. He is particularly interested in the application of e-learning in graduate medical education, and in better understanding clinician learning needs through examining both educational data as well as data derived from clinical and administrative sources.

Research Background

Dr. Daniel received his MD degree from Stony Brook University Medical Center in New York. He subsequently completed residency training in Pediatrics in the Boston Combined Residency in Pediatrics (Boston Children’s Hospital and Boston Medical Center), followed by fellowship training in Pediatric Critical Care Medicine at Boston Children’s Hospital. He currently serves as an Assistant in Critical Care Medicine at Boston Children’s Hospital and as a Physician Associate at OPENPediatrics. As a clinician-educator and educational researcher, Dr. Daniel’s interests include graduate medical education, online learning, and high-fidelity simulation.
