Guelay Bilen-Rosas, MD, currently serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology, University of Wisconsin Madison.
Her patients have benefited from her deep commitment to providing the best possible care. She serves as a strong advocate for her patients and is interested in improving current patient monitoring practices that will directly impact and improve patient outcomes and our capacity to detect respiratory distress. Not only does Dr. Bilen-Rosas advocate for patients, she is a positive role model and mentor to students, postdocs, and fellow faculty, coaching and encouraging mentees in their academic, research, and career
development. Ever driven to ask questions and develop ideas, she makes the time to develop and further pursue her research. Her passions for improving patient care and questioning the status quo have merged in her quest to develop improved methods for early detection of airway compromise that reach beyond the OR and have broad applications across all segments of patient care and research. Despite the incompatibility of ultrasound and air, she detected and described pulsed wave Doppler signaling to quantify airflow velocities, leading to multiple patent applications. Based on preliminary data, she received the WARF Innovation Award in 2016 and the WARF Accelerator Award in 2017 and 2019. In her work developing this new technology, she has supervised several graduate students and a postdoctoral fellow in addition to arraying a strong collaborative network that includes ultrasound experts,
biostatisticians, medical physics scientists, mechanical engineers, software engineers, and leading experts in micromachined transducers and related technology.

I have served as both a pediatric anesthesiologist and pain management specialist at St Jude Children's Research Hospital since 2016 in the Division of Anesthesiology. In June 2020 I was appointed the Director of the Division of Anesthesiology. I spend greater than 75% of my time at St Jude engaged in patient care activities, including coverage of our Pain Service. I currently hold the rank of Associate Member within our institution.
I have also been involved in several clinical quality improvement initiatives since 2016. First, I had the opportunity to participate in the Quality and Patient Safety Committee from 2016-2017. Second, I collaborated with numerous disciplines on of the BRAVE (Begin Rehabilitation Activities Very Early) Initiative led by our critical care colleagues. Specifically, my role was to determine ways to minimize the use of sedating medications in the ICU, in an effort to facilitate earlier participation in physical therapy. Third, I worked in collaboration with our colleagues in Hematology, Blood Bank, and Laboratory Services to write a Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP) for our hospital. Since its implementation, the MTP has been effective when activated and has improved patient safety. Moving forward, I plan to further investigate its use in our institution as it relates to patient outcomes and utilization of blood products.
Additionally, I have been involved in a number of academic projects. I was the co-author on a published book chapter on Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, which is a topic of particular interest to me. Additionally, I have collaborated on multiple research projects at St Jude since 2016, as outlined in my CV. Additional projects are currently underway.
Another portion of my time has been spent in educational activities for other healthcare providers. This includes SRNAs, residents, fellows, and medical students. Mentorship of medical students includes clinical experience in anesthesiology and pain management as well as in research opportunities.
From a clinical administrative standpoint, I serve in the capacity as one of the daily clinical directors, who oversees the daily clinical operations as it pertains to all anesthetizing locations in the hospital. This includes the review and approval of requests for add-on anesthetic cases throughout the day. As clinical director, I collaborate with multiple specialties in addition to our CRNA colleagues and sedation nursing leadership. I have also been involved in a number of institutional committees. These include the Operating Room Committee (2017-Present), Operational Leadership Council and Triad + Sedation and Peri-operative Services Team (2019-Present), and appointment to the Medical Executive Committee (2020-2022). In 2019, I was invited to attend and later join the Pediatric Anesthesia Leadership Council, which is a group of leaders in academic pediatric anesthesia centers around the United States. We meet twice a year to discuss current topics within the area of pediatric anesthesiology, and we also regularly discuss topics in an online format via distribution list email conversations. Finally, I have served as the Director for the Division of Anesthesiology since June 2020. In this role, I oversee the clinical and administrative operations for the Division of Anesthesiology. This is a new role for me professionally. In a short time I have learned a good deal, and I really enjoy the new challenges and opportunities for improvement.

As a pediatric anesthesiologist, my clinical experiences place me in a unique position to inform research and interventions on surgical patients. Through my clinical observations, I became interested in understanding the factors that contribute to poor oral health outcomes for certain pediatric patients. Childhood caries is a largely preventable disease process and use of operating rooms and associated resources can be an expensive, inefficient use of scarce resources. My research interests include: the impact of policy on utilization of tertiary oral health services, such as emergency departments and general anesthesia; testing interventions in the perioperative period to improve oral health outcomes; and understanding factors that contribute to dental sedation safety.

After graduating from the Medical University of Gdansk, Poland, I moved to the United States to pursue career in anesthesiology. During my residency training at UMDNJ/Robert Wood Johnson, Camden, NJ, I developed a special interest in pediatric anesthesia. After through discussion with my excellent mentors, who were passionate pediatric anesthesiologists, I decided to undergo a fellowship training in pediatric anesthesia at the Children Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA. I enjoyed every day there taking care of pediatric patients from all over US and abroad and learning from experts in the field that work there. It was during my fellowship that I developed a special interest in anesthesia for pediatric orthopedic surgery. So, it was a natural choice for me to start working at Nemours/AI DuPont Hospital for Children, Wilmington, DE – one of the largest and most widely respected pediatric orthopedics practices in the United States and the world. I’ve worked here for the last 12 years. I take great pride in helping my orthopedic surgeon colleagues to restore function and improve quality of life for our patients. My recent interests involve anesthesia for scoliosis correction including the “fusionless” vertebral body tethering, and risks of anesthesia for imaging studies and orthopedic surgeries for skeletal dysplasia patients with “spine-at-risk", particularly Kniest dysplasia and Mccune Albright syndrome.

I lead division of anesthesia from 2017-2018 and the division of diagnostic imaging anesthesia at Cincinnati Children Hospital Medical Center from 2009-2017. The imaging division delivers over 4000 -5000 anesthetic or sedation cases each year. In both leadership positions I lead departmental initiatives as well as leading consensus building initiatives in a diverse and rapidly expanding anesthesia department. An important topic of my research is examining the effects of anesthetic agents including Propofol, dexmedetomidine and ketamine on the upper airway morphology in children with and without history of obstructive sleep apnea. I have written many high impact research articles on dexmedtomidine sedation. Subsequently, based on our outcomes and publications, other sedation programs have adopted our sedation protocols for upper airway dynamic evaluation with dexmedetomidine. All publications are included in www.researchgate.net.

Bio
In December of 2012, Dr. David Nichols became President and CEO of the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) with responsibility for the initial and continuing certification of approximately 80,000 pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists in the United States. Since then, the ABP has introduced several new initiatives, including a highly regarded assessment platform (MOCA-Peds), where pediatricians identify knowledge gaps that help them improve the quality of their care, and a growing number of quality improvement collaboratives and portfolios that are improving health outcomes for children.
Led by Dr. Nichols, the ABP has also launched an initiative to increase the diversity of the over 400 ABP volunteers, conducted state-of-the-art research on the pediatric workforce, and created the Roadmap project, which connects parents and caregivers of children with complex chronic illnesses with their subspecialists to address family mental health concerns.
Dr. Nichols graduated with honors from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine (now the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai) in 1977. He completed his pediatrics residency and chief residency at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). Interest in pediatric critical care medicine prompted him to pursue an anesthesiology residency at the University of Pennsylvania before returning to CHOP for a fellowship in pediatric critical care.
Dr. Nichols then moved to the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, where he became director of the PICU, division director, and professor of pediatric anesthesiology and critical care medicine. In 2005, he was named the Mary Wallace Stanton Professor and Vice Dean for Education of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, overseeing the creation of their new Genes to Society medical education curriculum, the design of the Armstrong Medical Education Building, the creation of the Institute for Excellence in Education, and the development of a state-of-the-art simulation center, among many other initiatives.
Dr. Nichols’ career has focused on training, medical education, and mentorship. He is the editor-in-chief of several textbooks in his field including Critical Heart Disease in Infants and Children, Golden Hour: The Handbook of Advanced Pediatric Life Support, and Roger’s Textbook of Pediatric Intensive Care, now in its 5th edition. In addition to training and mentoring nearly 60 pediatric critical care fellows, he has lectured and taught all over the world. Dr. Nichols is the recipient of two of the highest honors in his field: the American Academy of Pediatrics Section on Critical Care Distinguished Career Award and the Society for Critical Care Medicine Shubin-Weil Master Clinician/Teacher: Excellence in Bedside Teaching Award.

I'm an Associate Professor of Anesthesiology at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. I have twenty years of clinical experience in Anesthesiology, the last fifteen dedicated to Pediatric Anesthesia. My areas of interest include the use of point of care ultrasound during the perioperative care of pediatric patients. Furthermore, the last ten years, I have participated in the care of pregnant patients undergoing fetal procedures leading to a growth interest in Fetal Anesthesia. I also participate in the education of fellows especially during the care of pediatric patients undergoing complex procedures. I have experience on developing and conducting research studies in the areas of airway dynamics and the response to anesthetics, use of new monitoring technology, such as the use of a non-invasive pulse co-oxymetry to monitor continuous hemoglobin trending and the use of a respiratory acoustic monitoring to monitor the respiratory rate continuously during the perioperative care of pediatric patients. I have also conducted studies in Fetal Anesthesia specifically in creating an enhanced recovery protocol for patients undergoing fetoscopic repair of a neural tube defect. My future goals are to continue the practice of Pediatric Anesthesia in an academic center with clinical interest in Fetal Anesthesia. I will also continue participating in research studies that have an impact in the perioperative care of pediatric patients.

I have been a Pediatric Anesthesiologist for the past 35 years. I attended the University of Chicago for both my A.B., and M.D. Degrees. I completed my Anesthesia training at UChicago as well, and completed my Pediatric Anesthesiology Fellowship at Children's National Medical Center. I have had academic appointments at UChicago, CMC, and most recently Johns Hopkins School of Medicine where I have practiced Pediatric Anesthesiology for the past 20 years. At Johns Hopkins I obtained an MBA, and became interested in the operations side of our "business". For the past three years I have been the Medical Director of the Center for Perioperative Optimization at Johns Hopkins, and manage preoperative patient (adult and pediatric) care policy and perioperative medical recommendations for all of Johns Hopkins Medicine. I have been involved in simulation education locally at JHU and nationally with MOCA SIM. I was instrumental in the adoption of Epic at JHH, and continue to be an Epic "Business Owner" at JHH. I have served on the Epic Anesthesia Subspecialty Steering Board for the past 4 years, and have been involved in the development of the 'Watch Meds" function, as well as the soon to be released "One Page Review". I am currently working on the development of a digital chart biopsy to help triage surgical patients to the appropriate level of preoperative evaluation, and help guide preoperative management and best venue for intra and post-operative care for adult and pediatric patients. I have taught basic anesthesia skills to many CA-1 residents at Johns Hopkins, and I have taught many residents how to provide anesthesia care for children having surgery. In 2015 I became a part of the Spinraza "story" by administering "study drug" via LP to newborns and young infants with SMA who were patients in the initial double-blinded trials to establish efficacy. The bravery of these families resulted in the drug approval in 2016. From January 2017 to December 2023 we have grown from 10 patients receiving Spinraza to 47, a growth of 780%, with 18/21 of our pediatric patients receiving their LP's in the ASC environment.
In 2022 I was inducted into the Miller Coulson Academy of Clinical Excellence at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
I have been married for 37 years to my husband, Bill, and have two adult sons, Sam and Daniel who have been incredibly supportive of my career.

Associate Professor
Texas Children's Hospital / Baylor College of Medicine
Houston, TX
Bio
I believe that good medicine starts with a compassion for people and a mind to serve those in need…
I began my journey into medicine as an electrical engineer. Intrigued by radiofrequency transmission systems and cartilage regeneration, I completed graduate study focusing on nanoparticles and mechanokinetic device design. I ventured into medicine with a mind geared towards research in pediatric outcomes and improving the anesthesia delivery and monitoring systems designed for smaller patients.
My interests in quality improvement associated with regional anesthesiology for pediatric patients, led me to serve as the Principal Investigator for the national Pediatric regional anesthesia network (PRAN) at Texas Children’s Hospital, with a focus on improving pediatric regional anesthesia drug delivery and quality outcomes. As a pediatric regional anesthesiologist and pain management specialist it is my aim to advance the practice of regional anesthesia and pain medicine in infants and children through safe and efficacious drug delivery. The incorporation of new peripheral nerve blocks brings both excitement and responsibility among anesthesiologists. My expertise in regional anesthesiology has permit me to transcend the perioperative environment and form a collaborative network that enhances pain delivery streams for a multitude of children in the oncology and hematology realm.
Equally important to the advancement of pediatric pain medicine is my role as an educator. Along the course of my anesthesiology faculty development, I have taken an active role in the teaching of medical students, residents and fellows through curriculum development, lecture series, workshops and interactive small-group teaching sessions. I am committed to advocating for student education while upholding the highest standards of medical care. I look forward to enhancing the practice of pediatric anesthesiology in continuing to learn from and with medical students, resident-physicians, and colleagues, reviewing the best practices and critically assessing the present standards with evidence-based medicine.

During his career at Johns Hopkins and the University of Colorado, Myron Yaster, MD has changed the practice of anesthesiology, pediatrics, pediatric pain medicine and pediatric critical care medicine locally, nationally, and internationally. He has mentored more than 150 faculty and fellows who have gone on to establish independent, distinguished careers in academic medicine.
Dr. Yaster is board-certified in Pediatrics, Anesthesiology, Pediatric Anesthesia, and Pediatric Critical Care Medicine. After completing residencies in Pediatrics (Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, University of Pittsburgh) and Anesthesiology (University of Pennsylvania) and fellowships in Pediatric Anesthesia and Pediatric Critical Care Medicine (Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, University of Pennsylvania) he joined the Hopkins faculty in 1982. He retired from Hopkins in 2016 and joined the faculty at the University of Colorado. He retired from the University of Colorado in 2021. In retirement he edits the daily Ron Litman’s Pediatric Anesthesia Article of the Day which reaches a daily audience of over 4,500 readers in 99 countries.
In an ongoing series of clinical and laboratory experiments that started shortly after his arrival at Hopkins, Dr. Yaster has been at the forefront of studies that demonstrated that the newborn infant responds to pain. More importantly, he and his colleagues have proven that this pain can be prevented by the appropriate use of anesthetics (general and regional) and analgesic drugs. Clearly pain, anxiety, and discomfort (both physical and psychological) are not limited to the newborn and do not begin and end with the induction and conclusion of surgery and anesthesia. Dr. Yaster started the Pediatric Pain Service at Johns Hopkins and was until 2005 its clinical director. This program treats approximately 3,000 in- and out-patients a year and is considered by many to be among the best programs in the world. It sets the standard for practice nationally and internationally and has served as the source of extensive clinical and translational research as well as practice policy. He and his colleagues have published extensively in this area. He has authored more than 300 original papers and book chapters as both the first author and as the senior author. In the later capacity he has been the mentor of many individuals who have gone on to become leaders in the areas of Pediatric Anesthesiology, Pediatric Critical Care Medicine, and Pediatric Pain Management.
Finally, Dr. Yaster founded and was the first President of the Society for Pediatric Anesthesia. This is the largest subspecialty organization of its kind in this field. It currently has over 4,000 members. In recognition of his many contributions to the Society, the Society founded the Myron Yaster, MD Lifetime Achievement Award which is awarded annually to leaders in the field of Pediatric Anesthesiology.
