This episode of Pediatrics On Call looks at updated guidelines for the treatment of atopic dermatitis, or eczema, and the accuracy of large language models in pediatric and adult medicine.
Welcome to Pediatrics On Call: a podcast on children’s health from the AAP. Each episode features interviews about new research and hot topics in the field of pediatrics. Hear about the most important innovations in pediatrics, from the people who are behind them. While designed for pediatricians and other health professionals, the podcast will also appeal to parents, caregivers and anyone else interested in the science behind children’s health.
Co-hosts -- pediatricians David Hill, MD, FAAP, and Joanna Parga-Belinkie, MD, FAAP – draw on their expertise and training as physicians, as well as their many conversations with families and their own experiences as parents to inform their interviews.
The podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music/Audible, Spotify and wherever podcasts are found.
Host
Joanna became a pediatrician because “she’s just too nice” was a frequent trope of her medical school evaluations. As an attempt to spice things up, she became a neonatologist but still saves babies with a smile on her face. However, it wasn’t until she became a mother that she endured her most intensive training in infant care and learned how to write personal bios while breastfeeding.
Her education has been bicoastal: from Harvard College in Boston to Mount Sinai Medical School in New York City, all the way to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles for pediatrics residency and the University of California, Los Angeles for neonatal fellowship. For her first job as an attending, she came back to the east coast and has landed in Philadelphia. There she works as an assistant professor of clinical pediatrics at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. She cocreated the podcast Baby Doctor Mamas as her first foray into podcasting and has been a contributor and writer for many media outlets including The New York Times, National Public Radio, SELF Magazine, and NBC News.
When she’s not doctoring, parenting or podcasting, she is usually watching television with her husband Danny, a cinematographer who is always excited about how they got that cool dolly shot. She’s frequently embroiled (but never consistent) in some new exercise routine and is hoping to do her first pull-up during the pandemic (tips and encouragement are encouraged!).
