Scientific Focus
Current Research Interests
My current focus is on improving maternal and infant health in resource limited environments following 2007-08 sabbaticals in India and Kenya. I became a Master Trainer in the American Academy of Pediatrics "Help Babies Breathe" program designed to bring knowledge and skills to community and medical birth attendants in resource limited countries to reduce the risk of infant mortality and morbidity at birth. I am currently volunteer faculty at the Center for Advanced Perinatal Education (CAPE) in the Division of Neonatal and Developmental Medicine where simulation methodologies and novel teaching techniques are used to facilitate problem solving and improved competence in resuscitation of infants. My hope is these simulation methodologies and approaches to teaching are transferable to resource limited countries and will amplify effectiveness and fidelity of the Help Babies Breathe program.
