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.

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.

I am currently practicing as a board-certified Anesthesiologist, with sub-specialization in neuro and pediatric anesthesiology. I have served as Director of Neuroanesthesiology and Director of Global Health within my Department of Anesthesiology, Director of Perioperative Services: American Family Children’s Hospital/U.W. 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.
At the state level, I served two terms as President of the Wisconsin Society of Anesthesiologists, during which I directed activities and policy establishment vital to the safe anesthetic care of patients. Nationally, I currently serve as a Delegate to the American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA), and I have been active on several ASA committees providing oversight in clinical care and health care practice management.
One of my greatest passions has been the provision of anesthesia abroad on humanitarian surgical mission trips. 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.

She has completed an R21 for the study of autonomic nervous system involvement in the development of bradycardia during induction of general anesthesia with sevoflurane. Data from that effort led to quantification of developmental autonomic physiology in our perioperative patients. Next steps include using large-scale physiologic data to tie autonomic insights to renin-angiotensin phenotype and response perioperatively.

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.
