She serves as chair of the medical school faculty council, and vice-chair of pediatrics for education. Her research interests focus on clinical quality improvement, particularly in the newborn nursery, in areas such as breastfeeding, jaundice, circumcision and newborn opioid-dependence. Her teaching interests include teaching students and residents about clinical quality improvement and high-value healthcare. Her recent work on newborn opioid-dependence has attracted attention for achieving the “triple aim” of healthcare improvement by tackling a clinical issue prevalent in the local population, and providing a better family experience of care at lower cost.
