Hans Kaus
Hans Kaus received his MD from Ross University School of Medicine. He completed his undergraduate education in Pharmacy at the University of Tübingen, Germany. Driven by a deep desire to understand patient concerns, Hans wanted to go beyond pharmaceutical care. While in medical school, the virtual morning reports, Clinical Problem Solvers, unleashed his passion for solving complex patient cases. The blend of medicine and pharmacy will markedly benefit patients. In his spare time, Hans enjoys embarking on long bicycle rides.

Andrew Sanchez is an exiting PGY-3 in internal medicine at Yale New Haven Hospital: he will soon be starting a career in academic hospital medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston. Meeting hospitalized patients and working with them to achieve diagnostic clarity is his primary clinical passion. His interest in diagnosing the undifferentiated patient is the driving force behind deep interest in learning and teaching diagnostic reasoning. On X/Twitter – which he considers the centerpiece of his teaching portfolio – he is known for creating and sharing schemas for both common and uncommon clinical dilemmas, which are frequently accompanied by “Tweetorial” commentary, as well as diagnostic case challenges.
