General Academic Pediatrics staff

Our team includes board-certified pediatricians and board-certified nurse practitioners who work closely with other providers to ensure a strong continuum of care for every child we serve. We strive to be culturally sensitive in all situations and are tireless advocates for children both locally and nationally.

Medical educators

• We perform a major role in education at the University of Missouri-Kansas City medical school, directing the pediatrics clerkship and supervising more than 100 pediatrics and medicine-pediatrics residents in their continuity clinics.

• We bring a unique perspective to the inpatient rotation that includes the continuity of care from inpatient to outpatient.

• Our team leads a circumcision workshop that is often modeled for simulation education.

• Through our work on inpatient wards, we train an array of pediatric specialties, family medicine, dental and radiology residents.
