I am a pediatric anesthesiologist who develops and researches ways for patients and families to have better experiences when they come for procedures. To do this, I create, operationalize, and then analyze the efficacy of peri-operative wellness programs that help kids and their caregivers take control of the way they feel when they are in the hospital. I do this by teaching them mind-body techniques that help ease anxiety, promote relaxation, and help control stress. My research centers on the feasibility of such programs, and determining how effective they are at their goals.

I am a pediatrician/anesthesiologist who is currently the Chairman of the Department of Anesthesiology, Critical Care, and Pain Medicine at Boston Children's Hospital. I have concentrated my research efforts at the intersection of the specialties of pediatrics and anesthesiology. I have focused on child behaviors in the peri-operative timeframe, pain control in infants and children, and (most successfully) on pediatric sedation issues. My academic research has been concentrated on efforts to understand the nature of pediatric sedation/anesthesia practices nationally and how they can be improved. There is still much work to be done in defining the ideal providers and medications for various procedures in order to further improve child welfare. In an attempt to improve pediatric sedation practice I founded the Pediatric Sedation Research Consortium (PSRC) and (later) the Society for Pediatric (SPS) sedation. The research work that has resulted from these collaborations has resulted in over 20 peer reviewed manuscripts and represent the most comprehensive (collected) analysis of pediatric sedation practice that is available. My work with this organization has also spurred analysis of the ideal “state” for patients during procedure including the formulation and validation of the Dartmouth Operative Conditions Scale and the Pediatric Sedation State Scale. I have also worked on issues related to the recovery and care for pediatric patients undergoing major surgeries. I created the Society for Pediatric Anesthesia Improvement Network in an attempt to aggregate multicenter data on this issue. I am currently working on a NIH funded grant to better understand the long-term outcomes for patients after major surgery.

Bio
I am a pediatric anesthesiologist and pain management physician, who holds ABA board certifications in anesthesiology, pediatric anesthesiology, and pain medicine. I completed residency in Anesthesiology and fellowship in Interventional Pain Management at Loyola University Medical Center in 2013 and 2014 respectively. I then went on to complete a fellowship in Pediatric Anesthesiology at the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin in 2015. 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.

Bio
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.

Emeritus Professor Anes & CCM and Pediatrics
Johns Hopkins School of Medicine
Baltimore, MD
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.

Professor of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine
Mayo Clinic
Rochester, MN
Bio
Since my fellowship in Pediatric Anesthesiology at Boston Children's Hospital, I have had a strong interest in pediatric pain medicine as well as pediatric anesthesia, including regional blocks. I did a second fellowship at Boston Children's in Pain Medicine and stayed on the staff there until I was recruited to start the Pediatric Pain Service at Mayo Clinic, Rochester. My work at Mayo has been balanced between operative pediatric anesthesia and pediatric pain. This has led to my involvement in the Society for Pediatric Pain Medicine, eventually having been president from 2021 to 2023.

Bio
Dr. Chelsea Willie is an Associate Professor of Anesthesiology who is a pediatrician turned pediatric intensivist turned pediatric anesthesiologist that now splits her time between the operating room (OR) and pediatric intensive care unit (ICU). This allows for a unique experience of combining several skills sets between specialties and forges an opportunity to improve communication and patient management between these environments.
Dr. Willie is nationally known for engaging in alternative modes of education including creating escape rooms to teach medical concepts, creating breakout boxes as a smaller experience, and instilling gamification principles into teaching endeavors. It is important that she not only “enjoys” teaching, but that she is effective in the process, so continues to search for ways to make learning both applicable and fun for adult learners. Most of her energy has been spent using simulation to teach and she serves as the director for the CW Midwest Pediatric Anesthesia Fellowship Bootcamp which is a regional event for pediatric anesthesia fellows to immerse in simulation events at the start of their training and allows faculty from neighboring Midwest institutions to network while providing multiple perspectives to educate fellows. Dr. Willie shares her enthusiasm for education by directing workshops at multiple national and international conferences, including the Society of Pediatric Anesthesia, the Society of Education in Anesthesia, and the International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare.
Since July 2019, Dr. Willie has served as one of the Associate Program Directors for the Anesthesiology core residency program with a focus on developing the CA-1 resident curriculum. In this position she mentors, teaches, evaluates, heavily recruits, and gives some of the best hugs! She has dived into her passion to lift others and ensure that the perceived lesser among us have a voice as a co-chair for the Children’s Wisconsin Medstaff JEDI committee with a focus on health equity. This passion has expanded as she was selected to be the Director for DEI for the Department of Anesthesiology in July 2022. These positions have led to multiple opportunities for self-development through completion of the Kern Kinetic3 program, the AAMC LEAD program, the WLLC (Women’s Leadership Learning Collaborative) program, and most recently completed her Heroic GRAD public speaking course. She is clearly always looking for ways to transform into the best version of herself and encourages others to do the same.
When she is not moving the career needle forward, Dr. Willie is active at church teaching 6-year-olds, taking ballroom dance lessons, enjoying a theater performance, and traveling around the world. She is always willing to open her home to share her Southern hospitality. Yes, she sleeps…but most importantly…she lives!

Texas Children's Hospital / Baylor College of Medicine

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 distinguished 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 and private practice 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 5,900 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.
