Professional Statement
I completed my pediatric residency at Jackson Memorial Hospital, University of Miami, in 2005. I went on to work as a general pediatrician in South Florida emergency until I began fellowship in 2005. I completed my pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) fellowship at Texas Children’s Hospital (TCH), ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵ of Medicine (BCM) in 2010. From July of 2010 to July of 2011, I completed an emergency ultrasound fellowship with the University of Texas Medical School at Houston while continuing to work at TCH. I obtained certification in medical sonography in 2012. I am currently an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Baylor. The practice of PEM is a gratifying subspecialty in itself. My passion, however, is point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) and its application in the care of acutely ill infants and children.
I am the immediate past director of pediatric POCUS for the PEM section. As such, I tried to ensure the physicians in the PEM section are appropriately trained in the applications of POCUS as it pertains to PEM. In addition to the coordination of education, I assisted in machine acquisition, maintenance and physician recruitment. I was also responsible for developing, monitoring and revising both the QA and credentialing processes. After 15 years of development, implementation, review and revision of our robust POCUS program, I transitioned out of leadership in June 2025. I am actively involved in several POCUS related research projects throughout our section, and we also participate in multi-center studies. My leadership in the section of emergency medicine led to my involvement in POCUS education in other pediatric sections, including surgery, critical care medicine and global health. I assisted with the planning and development of the pediatric POCUS fellowship that began in July of 2015.
In 2018 I was appointed the American Academy of Pediatrics, Section on Emergency Medicine (SOEM) Ultrasound Program chair. This is a 3-year appointment during which I am responsible for all of the SOEM POCUS programming held at the AAP NCE. I am an active member in the P2 Network for PEM POCUS. This is a growing community of physicians committed to spreading the clinical application of POCUS to pediatric emergency departments around the world. In this group I serve as a research committee member and am leading a collaborative, multi-center project aimed at creating a validated PEM POCUS examination. I am also serving as a committee member for the section of Pediatric Emergency Medicine in the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP). I remain involved in other sections of ACEP and of the American Academy of Pediatrics. I completed the ACEP teaching fellowship in March of 2014.
