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.

Health, and Medical Director of University of Wisconsin Hospital (UWHC) Adult Operating Rooms, University of Wisconsin (UW), Madison, WI..
As an academic anesthesiologist, I have spent my entire career educating residents, fellows, and medical students in the subspecialties of neuro and pediatric anesthesia, and perioperative global health. I have served as a mentor and on the promotions committee for several faculty colleagues within and outside of my institution. I have been an invited author for global health, neurosurgical and neuroanesthesia textbooks and have collaborated with our neurosurgeons on multi-center NIH-funded studies (see Contributions to Science listed below).
I currently serve as a Board Examiner and Chair of the Question Writing and Editing Committee for the American Board of Anesthesiologists Standardized Oral Examination. In this role I have oversight of the resident demonstration of their knowledge and expertise of anesthetic practice with emphasis on subspecialty-based practice and advance clinical issues.
I received an MBA Degree from UMass Amherst in 2011. During and following this, I held numerous leadership roles both at my institution and at the State and National Society Levels. Present and Past administrative experience has included serving as a Director on the UW Medical Foundation (UWMF) BOD and UWMF Executive Committee, and as President of the UW Hospital and Clinics Medical Board. I have participated on numerous other UWHC and UWMF committees including the UWMF Finance, Council of Faculty and Compensation Development Committees, and the UWHC Operating Room Committee and Clinical Practices Committees.

I have participated in over 40 of these trips and have been responsible for the training of anesthesia personnel both within my department, and with hosting anesthesiologists and residents abroad. Probably the most rewarding part of my job is providing anesthesia knowledge, clinical training, and work in my field of expertise to anesthesia providers in LMICs, who would otherwise not receive this.

I am a residency graduate of Drexel/Hahnemann hospital at Philadelphia with pediatric anesthesia fellowship at Nemours DuPont Hospital, Delaware. I have been working as a staff at Nemours for almost 10 years after completion of fellowship. I am an associate professor of pediatric anesthesiology with a special interest in clinical outcomes of patients who undergo spine fusion for neuromuscular scoliosis in terms of perioperative pain and blood transfusion management. I am in general interested in all perioperative outcomes. Currently, I serve as a director of regional anesthesia which comes under the service of pain management.
In addition, I am a chair elect for the Society of Pediatric Anesthesia Improvement Network (SPAIN). Currently, we are involved in a prospective longitudinal multi-institution project looking at the perioperative pain management of adolescents undergoing anterior cruciate ligament surgery. The primary objective is to create a multicenter registry which captures information relating to the perioperative anesthesia course and management of children undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and to examine practice patterns and incidence of complications. The aggregate multi-institutional data set will be used to develop quality benchmarks for national safety and quality improvement efforts and best practice recommendations. We believe that this registry may also demonstrate how web-based data collection can be used to evaluate clinical anesthesia outcomes for surgeries with a low incidence of critical events but with significant variability in medical management.

I am a pediatric anesthesiologist with expertise in perioperative pain management and regional anesthesia. Most of my clinical time is spent in operating rooms, rounding on the floor, providing patient care, and teaching and supervising anesthesia student nurses, residents, and fellows.
I collaborate with various surgical services to implement new protocols for postoperative pain control. My research aims to develop new techniques for the placement and use of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks in children, infants, and neonates and compare them with established methods for pain control.
I am interested in clonidine as an adjunct for pediatric regional anesthesia. I participated in a few funded prospective studies investigating various analgesics' safety and efficacy. I investigated postoperative pain control outcomes and pain perception in the teenager and transgender population. My goal is to improve pediatric perioperative pain management, the safety of pediatric regional anesthesia, and family satisfaction with pain control.

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.

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.
