Biosketch
I provide clinical care and conduct clinical and translational research to culturally transform our sensitivity to children's pain: to better prevent, assess, treat, and understand children's pain. To make Chicago & America Childkind. My focus is acute, post-operative and procedural pain, including genetic differences in pain sensitivity and analgesic metabolism. Assessment of pain in vulnerable children. Use of multimodal analgesia, opioid-sparing therapies, opioid prescribing, and anticipatory guidance for securing, monitoring, and disposing of opioids to prevent pediatric opioid misuse. I have developed the adolescent opioid-induced euphoria scale and the pediatric healthcare provider knowledge and attitude scale related to pain.
