Research Focus: Dr. Sobek's work centers on internal medicine within perioperative contexts, particularly examining physician-patient health perception dynamics and critical care coordination. Her expertise spans hospitalist comanagement models, interdisciplinary care challenges in major surgical procedures, and critical airway management techniques. This dual focus on clinical coordination and procedural critical care defines her scholarly contributions.

Publication Trends: Analysis of her recent work reveals consistent themes in hospital medicine optimization and critical care interventions. Her 2017 study highlights discrepancies in specialist versus hospitalist assessments of comanagement needs post-radical cystectomy, while her 2008 book chapter establishes foundational knowledge in tracheostomy management, reflecting enduring interests in procedural standardization and perioperative safety protocols across both surgical and medical disciplines.
