Research
Our faculty are committed to innovative pediatric research that improves the quality and delivery of critical pediatric care. Through investigator-led and sponsored projects, we’re ensuring that the pediatric population of southern Arizona is well-represented in the most impactful projects shaping our field.
Education
We are a group of dedicated faculty for medical students, residents and fellows rotating through the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Our trainees have opportunities to work with a diverse patient population in many high-acuity patient situations including trauma, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and congenital cardiac care.
