I am a board certified pediatician with a subspecialty certification in pediatric critical care. I have practiced pediatric critical care in a tertiary care children's hospital for the last fifteen years and have qualified as an expert witness several times in that time period. In the two years I have worked in a locums role as a Pediatric Intensivist in a wide variety of venues. The primary PICU I work in is 18 beds . It has approximately 1400 admissions/year including congenital heart surgery with and without ECMO, pediatric trauma and renal transplants as well as a wide variety of medical and general pediatric surgical diseases.The Pediatric ED and PICU run a very busy transport service from the approximately 1 million person catchment area surrounding our facility. I have spent time participating in surgical missions all over the world. My locums employment has exposed me to small community PICU's where I have performed the intensvisit role as well as that of consultant to the ED and floors. It has also exposed me to other large academic centers.
I have also served The Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters as the President of the Medical Staff and in that role have participated in may quality improvement projects as well as many peer review situations.
