As a new initiative between the CCAS Communications Committee, Research Committee and the Trainee Special Interest Group, fellows from around the country will be interviewing established researchers at their respective institutions for the biannual CCAS newsletter.
Dr. Kirsten Groody, an advanced pediatric cardiac anesthesia fellow at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, moderated a discussion with her co-fellow Dr. Jennifer Lynch, an early-stage investigator, and Dr. Matthew Jolley, an NIH-funded researcher, pediatric cardiac anesthesiologist and echocardiographer who was recently awarded the Topolewski Endowed Chair in Pediatric Cardiology at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
In this moderated discussion, Drs. Jolley and Lynch discuss their research, their unique paths to becoming physician scientists, and the importance of encouraging research in our field. Play the video below to hear the moderated discussion!
Dr. Faraoni, a native of Belgium, is a pediatric cardiac anesthesiologist at Texas Children’s Hospital. In this video interview with Dr. Jeremy Friedman, he talks about always wanting to be more than a clinician, and his interests in transfusion, bleeding management and big database applications. He also talks about some differences between Europe and the U.S., and about balancing the roles of clinician and researcher.
