Shom has diverse rheumatological interests ranging from the management of inflammatory arthritis, connective tissue disease, and difficult gout with particular procedural expertise in caudal epidural injections used to relieve back pain. Shom has extensive experience in the care of patients with acute and chronic multi-system illnesses, and the peri-operative medical care of surgical patients.

As a result, he has developed a holistic approach to his practice of medicine in general and musculoskeletal medicine in particular.
