Biography
Dr. Tolentino joined the UM/JMH Med-Peds Program in March 2020, as the Program Director, and is Associate Professor of Internal Medicine and Pediatrics at the University of Miami. He has over a decade of experience in graduate medical education in med-peds program leadership. Upon completion of his chief year, he was Associate Program Director for the Internal Medicine Residency Program and Assistant Program Director for the Internal Medicine-Pediatrics Residency program at the University of Cincinnati. He was then recruited to Stony Brook University, where he served as Med-Peds Program Director for five years until escaping the cold in New York.
Dr. Tolentino brings his past clinical experiences in care for young adults with special health care needs, cystic fibrosis, and adult survivors of childhood cancers to UM/JMH. He is passionate about working with the underserved and vulnerable, LGBTQ+ community, and working to reduce health care disparities affecting Latinx and Asian communities. He is active nationally and has served in national leadership roles in the Med-Peds Program Directors Association (MPPDA), Society for General Internal Medicine, and APDIM, and currently serves as President Elect for the MPPDA. He considers himself big “M” and big “P,” and believes that med-peds physicians truly are the “mighty generalists.” He works clinically as a primary care physician, a transition medicine specialist, and as an adult and pediatric hospitalist. His interests include resident medical education, primary care, adult survivorship of pediatric cancer, transition from childhood to adulthood care, quality improvement, vulnerable populations and health disparities, and medical education research. -
