Diana Song, DO – Chief Fellow

I grew up in Atlanta, Georgia and attended medical school at the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine in Fort Worth, Texas. I then completed my internal medicine residency at Louisiana State University-Shreveport, where I served as a third-year Chief Resident. During residency, I also participated in the Clinician Educator track, which made me further realize my passion for academic medicine. Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, indoor cycling, and spending time with family and friends. 

I was raised in Short Hills, NJ, and received a BA in behavioral biology from Johns Hopkins University. I attended medical school at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson in New Brunswick, NJ. I completed my residency in internal medicine at University of California-Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, California, where I was inspired to pursue PCCM and a focus in clinical education. Outside of medicine, I enjoy running, hiking with my dog, traveling, and exploring the food scene everywhere I go. 

Second Year PCCM Fellows

Jaanki Dave, MD

I was raised in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. At Pennsylvania State University, I received undergraduate degrees in biology and biological anthropology, with honors in biology. I earned my medical degree from Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine in Scranton, PA. I completed an internal medicine residency at Cooper University Hospital in Camden, NJ before coming to MSK for a pulmonary and critical care medicine fellowship. My interests, beyond the lungs and the ICU, include going to museums, trying new restaurants, traveling, and expanding my collection of houseplants. 

Timothy Miller, MD

I was born and raised on Long Island and graduated from Stony Brook University with a BA in chemistry and biochemistry, and a minor in writing. I then attended medical school in Western New York at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, and completed my internal medicine residency at Stony Brook University Hospital. As a member of the MSK team, I am privileged to collaborate with distinguished experts in managing unique and medically complex patients. My aspiration is to advance in academic medicine and clinical education, melding my passion for teaching with medicine to contribute to shaping the physicians of the future. Beyond medicine, I find joy in reading, gardening, and hiking.

First Year PCCM Fellows

Andre Esteves, MD

I was born and raised in Harrison, NJ, and earned a degree in biological sciences from Rutgers University-New Brunswick. I attended medical school at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School in Newark, NJ. I completed my internal medicine residency at Westchester Medical Center in New York, where my pulmonary and critical care medicine interests blossomed. I am now delighted to be a Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Fellow at MSK. Outside work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, swimming, listening to music, and reading.

Rajan Patel, MD

I was born and raised in Queens, NY and attended Stony Brook University for my BA in biology. I went on to earn my medical degree from Jacobs School of Biomedical Sciences & Medicine at Buffalo, where I found particular interest in taking care of complex, critically ill patients. I then completed my internal medicine residency at Stony Brook University Hospital before joining MSK for my PCCM fellowship training. My goal is to pursue academic medicine and master pulmonary pathologies unique to the patient population at MSK. Outside of work, I love to weight train, play basketball, and indulge in diverse cuisines.

Rami Naaman, MD

After completing my medical education in my home country of Lebanon, I was interested in pulmonary and critical care medicine as a career. My various experiences training in the United States have since expanded my knowledge in the field and introduced me to the discipline of interventional pulmonology. I spent most of my residency at Indiana University studying the risk factors and trends associated with delirium in the intensive care unit. I later acquired bronchoscopy skills during my fellowship at the University of Illinois in Chicago and was exposed to an underserved patient population at higher risk for lung cancer than the national average. I then was involved in research into factors associated with the improved yield of newly adopted robotic technology in diagnostic bronchoscopy. I’m excited about the evolution of lung cancer treatment and developing targeted therapies. As an IP fellow at MSK, I look forward to an exposure to unique pulmonary diagnostic procedures, cancer treatment modalities, and ample opportunities for clinical research. I hope to look into our ability to get sufficient tissue for innovative genetic evaluation of newly diagnosed malignancy.

Bertin Salguero Porres, MD

Born in Guatemala, I earned my medical degree from Universidad Francisco Marroquin. I completed my residency at Mount Sinai Morningside, where I was Chief Resident. I stayed for a Pulmonary and Critical Care Fellowship and graduated with multiple honors, including Chief Fellow; House Staff Excellence in Teaching by the Institute of Medical Education; Fellow of the Year for Excellence in Teaching by the internal medicine residency; and induction into the medical honor society Alpha Omega Alpha. My clinical and research interests are medical education, interventional bronchoscopic procedures, pleural disease, and pleuroscopy. I’m currently part of the podcast team of the education committee of the AABIP.
