Stuart Goldstein, MD is a Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Cincinnati, where he serves as the Clark D. West Endowed Chair. He is a practicing pediatric nephrologist at Cincinnati Childrenâs where he also is the Director for the Center for Acute Care Nephrology and the Medical Director for the Pheresis Service. Dr Goldstein is the Founder and Principal Investigator for the Prospective Pediatric Acute Kidney Injury Research Group and has evaluated novel urinary AKI biomarkers in the pediatric critical care setting.
Dr. Katherine Melink (at time of recording) is currently finishing her residency at Cincinnati Children's Hospital where she was able to conduct research in biomarkers for the prediction of kidney injury in critically ill children (particularly in the CICU). Her exposure to CRRT under physicians like Dr. Goldstein at Cincinnati Children's has served as a motivating factor to participate in this episode! She is excited to start PICU fellowship at Boston Children's Hospital in July.

Dr. Chris Horvat is a pediatric intensivist and informaticist at UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. He started his academic career at UNC-Chapel Hill where he got his undergraduate and medical degrees, after which he completed a pediatric residency at Seattle Children's Hospital and a pediatric critical care fellowship at UPMC. Dr. Horvat also completed Pittsburghâs T-32 Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Pediatric Neurointensive Care through the Safar Center for Resuscitation Research, during which he earned a masterâs in health administration (MHA) from the University of Pittsburgh. In his current work, he aims to utilize a combination of electronic health record-derived datasets, pharmaco-kinetic models, and pharmacogenomic insights to develop advanced clinical decision-support tools to help refine the use of potent sedatives and analgesic medications in the pediatric intensive care unit. He also serves as a clinical informatics leader, helping to deploy randomized, embedded, multifactorial, adaptive platform (REMAP) trials across the UPMC system.
List the concerns surrounding the pediatric subspecialty workforce and the unique position of PCCM.Describe the modeling performed for each pediatric subspecialty.Describe the future of the PCCM workforce, including the job opportunities that current PCCM fellows can expect and the utility of dual boarding in cardiology.

James E. Squires MD, MS, is a pediatric hepatologist and is certified in pediatric gastroenterology and advanced/transplant hepatology by the American Board of Pediatrics. He is an Associate Professor in Pediatrics and is the Associate Director of Hepatology and the Program Director for the Advanced/Transplant Hepatology Fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. He received his medical degree from University of Texas in Galveston and completed his residency followed by his fellowships in Pediatric Gastroenterology and Advanced/Transplant Hepatology at Cincinnati Childrenâs Hospital Medical Center.
Dr. Maria Pliakas is a critical care fellow at the University of Michigan, she is interested in the way we can best sedate patients with acute liver failure as we bridge them to transplant. We are SO grateful that she reached out to us, and that she was able to recruit Dr. Squires for this episode.
