Professional Interests

<p><strong>I trained in Gastroenterology and Nutrition then I returned to the practice of General Pediatrics and retained an&nbsp;interest in non-procedural gastroenterology. This suits my many interests.&nbsp; </strong></p>
<p><strong>Within general pediatrics, my interests include becoming an expert diagnostician, and optmizing the health outcomes&nbsp;for children who&nbsp;come for&nbsp;well child visits.&nbsp;I am also interested in mastering and teaching the physical examination of children. M</strong><strong>ore recently I have become interested in oral health, mental health in primary care, and performance improvement activities.&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Within my subspecialty, I am primarily interested in nutrition, growth, lipid disorders, cardiovascular health, the use of statin medications in children,&nbsp;and the use of infant formula.</strong></p>
<p><strong>I&nbsp;have been&nbsp;a panel member of the FDA's Office of Orphan Product Development and&nbsp;I also act as a reviewer for all 3 major Pediatric journals, </strong><strong>Pediatrics, JAMA pediatrics, and the Journal of Pediatrics.&nbsp; I am&nbsp;and Editorial Board member for the AAP publication, Pediatrics in Review. &nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>I teach pediatric residents and medical students several times a&nbsp;week. This is a source of deep and increasing satisfaction for me. </strong></p>
<p><strong>While being a physician is intellectually satisfying I view it fundamentally&nbsp;as a job of service to patients,&nbsp;students,&nbsp;resident trainees, and&nbsp;to my superb peers here.&nbsp;</strong></p>
