\tDr. Andrew Dunn graduated for New York University Medical School in 1992, and completed a residency in internal medicine at The Mount Sinai Medical Center in 1995. Dr. Dunn remained at Mount Sinai as a member of the faculty in the Division of General Medicine, and is currently a Practice Chief in the General Medicine Clinic and Director of the Primary Care Anticoagulation Service. His primary area of clinical and research interest is anticoagulation and thrombosis. Dr. Dunn has developed and directs an innovative program to facilitate home treatment of deep vein thrombosis. He has given numerous lectures in this field, including a workshop at a National meeting of the Society of General Internal Medicine. In addition, he has presented his research at regional and national meetings, and published several articles on this topic. He is currently a principal investigator for randomized trials of a novel anticoagulant for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, as well as leading an investigation of the use of low-molecular-weight heparin for perioperative anticoagulation for patients on long-term warfarin.
