Tom Baumgartner in 2022

Introduction

My name is Tom Baumgartner. I am Medical Data Librarian at VisualDx, located in Rochester, New York. My work has me focusing on medical informatics, clinical decision support, and health equity, primarily in the field of dermatology.

As far as my time on Wikipedia is concerned, I spend much of my efforts bolstering English-language pages of topics (primarily cycling, other hobbies) that are currently better represented in Dutch and German. I'm also a frequent corrector of formatting and grammatical errors.
