Daniel Schumacher, MD, MEd, was named a Macy Faculty Scholar by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation, which is dedicated to improving the education of health professionals. The Scholar program is intended to foster the potential of forward-thinking medical educators.
Schumacher is an associate professor of Pediatrics at the University of Cincinnati and chair of the Education Research Group at Cincinnati Children’s. Since transitioning from residency administration to focus on medical education research three years ago, he has been working on a PhD at Maastricht University and has led two national studies focused on: 1) decisions made by clinical competency committees (CCCs) and 2) assessment of entrustable professional activities.
As a Macy Faculty Scholar, Schumacher will extend lines of investigation from both of these studies, seeking to understand summative entrustment decision-making by CCCs. This work is well-aligned with his established career focus on the link between educational outcomes and patient care outcomes. It also builds upon his local, national, and international competency-based medical efforts over the past several years.
Carol Carraccio, MD, vice president for competency-based assessment at the American Board of Pediatrics, is Schumacher’s mentor.
Neil Johnson, MBBS, MMed, was recognized as the 2018 Janet Pettit Scholar by the Association for Vascular Access and the Pediatric Special Interest Group.
Johnson is an outstanding pediatric interventional radiologist and internationally respected expert and colleague. His numerous publications include landmark work on optimal catheter tip location and decreasing infiltration through color-coded categorization of infusates. The impact of his contributions has been immeasurable, leading to global recognition and adoption that has benefited infants and children worldwide. His pioneering vision inspired his leadership as the medical director to build a cutting-edge pediatric vascular access team at Cincinnati Children’s. He is well-regarded as a collaborative mentor and passionate champion for evidence-based practice and positive outcomes in pediatric vascular access.
Johnson also received a Gold Medal from the Society of Pediatric Radiology for his accomplishments during their annual meeting in May.
Marilyn Goske, MD, a retired faculty member of Cincinnati Children’s Division of Radiology, won a Gold Medal from the American College of Radiology (ACR). Goske was honored for her work in founding and chairing Image Gently®, a campaign dedicated to improving safety and effective imaging of children worldwide. Goske was honored at the ACR’s annual meeting on May 20 in Washington, DC.
