Professor of Pediatrics
Northwestern Medicine
Chicago, Illinois
I am Professor of Pediatrics, Julia and David Uihlein Professor of Bioethics and Medical Humanities, Director of the Center for Bioethics and Medical Humanities and Chief Ethics Officer for the Institute for Augmented Intelligence in Medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. I am also an attending physician at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago in the division of pediatric critical care medicine. My research interests include communication, decision making, palliative care, and ethics. I study interventions to improve access to bereavement support for people after the death of a child and opportunities to improve enrollment in clinical research through recruitment in community-based clinics using novel technology. My research also addresses strategies for improving communication and decision making among patients, family caregivers, and professional caregivers in the pediatric intensive care unit. My work uses qualitative and quantitative methods as well as patient/stakeholder engagement and community-based participatory research methods. My research has been funded by the NIH, PCORI, National Palliative Research Center, American Cancer Society, and the Greenwall Foundation. I am dedicating helping others achieve their full potential and follow their passion. I use she/her pronouns.
