One of the most important things we can do for patients, families and care teams is to ensure that knowledge is accessible, current and effectively shared. As associate medical director for Physician and Team-Based Education at Cincinnati Children’s, I help lead institutional initiatives in continuing medical education (CME), maintenance of certification (MOC), pediatric grand rounds and broader efforts to support team-based learning and professional development across the medical center. My work focuses on delivering high-quality education that translates directly into better care.
My passion lies in digital scholarship and making complex medical topics understandable and actionable for both clinicians and families. I am the creator and author of pediatric emergency medicine educational website, PEMBlog.com, and host of PEM Currents: The Pediatric Emergency Medicine Podcast, resources used worldwide to support learning in pediatric emergency medicine.
I have taught pediatric advanced life support (PALS) for many years and serve as a member of the Division of Emergency Medicine’s Medical Resuscitation Committee, a multidisciplinary group that investigates and improves care for critically ill children in the Emergency Department shock trauma suite. I am also involved in alumni connection and outreach as the former chair of the Cincinnati Children’s Alumni Association Board.
Nationally, I contribute to educational planning and curriculum development for:
I also serve as associate editor for digital media and dissemination for Pediatric Emergency Care, where I help create multimedia content that supports and amplifies the work of the journal’s authors. In my scholarship, I focus on digital education, knowledge dissemination, and the broader practice of digital scholarship. I collaborate with colleagues to improve how we visually represent data by developing figures, infographics, and other multimedia that help tell the story of a project across platforms and beyond the pages of the journal.
