Jennifer M. Brady, MD, MEd

I am a neonatologist who enjoys providing care for infants and their families in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) from birth through discharge.

From early on in medical school, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in neonatology to help provide longitudinal care to critically ill infants while supporting their families through this often unexpected experience. In the NICU, I am part of a medical team that cares for premature and critically ill infants.

My clinical interests surround the care of extremely preterm infants at the limits of viability, as well as the prevention of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). I am a member of our Cincinnati Children's ultra preemie team and help care for some of our smallest and most preterm infants after delivery.

In addition to my clinical interests, I am passionate about medical education. I have significant involvement with medical student, resident and fellow education within the Division of Neonatology.

Early on in my career, my scholarly interests focused on the longitudinal follow-up of preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), aligning with my clinical interest in the BPD population. Over time my primary scholarly pursuits, backed by my formal training with obtaining my master’s in medical education, have re-aligned with my strong passion for medical education, curriculum development and mentorship. I continue to pursue areas of study focused on curriculum development, procedural experience and perceived procedural comfort in the NICU, and pathways to support both fellow trainees and fellowship program leadership to achieve career success.
