Faculty & Staff
Faculty in the Department of Pediatrics continually achieve in the areas of education, research, clinical care, and advocacy. Faculty have received teaching awards on campus and at the national level from organizations such as the Association of American Medical Colleges, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Academic Pediatric Association. They hold national leadership positions in their fields of expertise while also working to improve the health of the communities they live in and serving as role model clinicians to our patients and families along with trainees and staff.
