Personal Statement
I believe care in the hospital works best when it is a team effort. I like pediatric hospital medicine because I work alongside physicians, nurses, ancillary staff, administrators, leaders, patients and families, and each of them sees something the others do not. I try to listen first, explain what I am thinking in plain words, and make decisions together with families so the plan fits their child and their goals.
Families are part of the care team, so I make my rounds at the bedside whenever I can and include them in the conversation. I also care about the systems around the patient. That is what pulled me toward quality improvement and patient safety, because a safer, smoother process helps every child who comes through the door.
