As medical director of 7S (one of the inpatient units in Golisano Children’s Hospital), I work with the nurse manager to improve the safety and satisfaction of patients and for staff. As the Associate Director for the Pediatrics Clerkship, I assist in the coordination and education of the medical students as they rotate through Pediatrics. In my role as Director of Pediatric Ambulatory Quality I am working with ambulatory leaders to build an ambulatory QI structure.
