About
Dr. Kenneth Michelson is most interested in emergency system performance: how well do emergency departments care for children? How much capacity does our system have, and how do we maximize it? How can all emergency departments provide outstanding care for children? He wants to design interventions to bring pediatric expertise to all emergency departments in the nation. Using innovative methods, Dr. Michelson uses large healthcare databases to understand emergency department performance and design targeted interventions.
Dr. Michelson is also active in the clinical care of patients and training of residents and fellows. He earned both the Senior Resident Teaching Award and Fellow Teaching Award for his active role in training pediatricians. He was selected as the first trainee member of the Pediatric Emergency Medicine Collaborative Research Committee’s Steering Committee, which selects projects and administers a multicenter research group across the nation. He is a technical expert in Leapfrog's diagnostic safety initiative.
