Pulmonary + Critical Care Fellowship Program - Current Fellows

Hello, my name is Jason. I’m originally from California and completed medical school in Indiana before returning to California for residency. I’m honored to continue my training in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Tufts, and I’m excited for the opportunities and growth that lie ahead.

I completed my medical degree at the University of Balamand and spent a few months in Boston as a sub-intern. During this time, I developed a strong passion for research, leading me to spend an additional year after graduation at Tufts University, where I worked on pulmonary hypertension projects. I then matched at MedStar Health in Baltimore for my internal medicine residency, before transitioning back to Tufts for a fellowship in pulmonary and critical care medicine.

Ann graduated Tufts University with a bachelor’s degree in political science. Ann worked for a year as a clinical researcher for the burn surgical service at Massachusetts General Hospital before attending medical school. She attended Tufts University Medical School, and following this, Ann completed her Internal Medicine Residency at Tufts Medical Center. During residency she completed the clinician educator track with her area of interest focusing on education and training surrounding code status.

Jane completed her undergraduate studies at UC Berkeley with a Bachelor of Arts in Integrative Biology. She went on to complete her medical school training at Albany Medical College where she developed an interest in bioethics specifically related to end-of-life decision-making. Prior to coming to Boston, she completed her internal medicine residency at Rutgers NJMS.

Tim Laux, MD MPH, completed medical school at the University of Pittsburgh and subsequently Internal Medicine residency at Washington University in St. Louis/Barnes Jewish Hospital. Thereafter, he completed a global health equity fellowship (the HEAL Initiative) at the University of California San Francisco, splitting time between rural India and the Navajo (Diné Nation) while completing his MPH.  He enjoyed this work so much he continued splitting time between these two nations until the COVID-19 pandemic made this no longer practically possible. His pandemic experiences convinced him to pursue pulmonary critical care training despite being a little older than average. He continues to be a small part of a research collaborative focused on preventing TB deaths in critically ill TB patients in south India. In the future, he hopes to return to similar lower resource settings with his new clinical skills. In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his wife and their young son.

Dr. Leandro Ramirez is a first-generation American born to Dominican parents. He completed medical school in the Caribbean before returning to New York City, where he worked on NIH-funded research and earned a Master’s in Healthcare Administration. He went on to complete his internal medicine residency in Providence, RI, where his experience as an intern during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic solidified his interest in pulmonary and critical care medicine. He co-founded a non-profit volunteer group aimed at public health awareness and community outreach. Dr. Ramirez is currently in his final year of fellowship at Tufts Medical Center in Boston. He will be joining the faculty at Roger Williams Medical Center in Rhode Island, balancing his professional pursuits with life as a new father with a growing family.

Mary Quien, MD completed medical school and internal medicine residency at NYU School of Medicine and subsequently cardiology fellowship at Bridgeport Hospital/Yale New Haven Health. Her experience in the CCU led her to pursue a critical care fellowship here at Tufts Medical Center. Next year, Mary looks forward to being a cardiac intensivist at UMass Chan Hospital in Worcester, Massachusetts. In her free time, Mary enjoys trying out new restaurants and rock climbing (to justify the extra carbs).
