Congratulations to Dr. Sam Schilling! Samantha Schilling, MD, MSHP, Associate Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of General Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, has joined the NRSA Primary Care Research Fellowship program to serve as Associate Director of Pediatrics. Dr. Schilling has great expertise on mechanisms of child abuse prevention and conducts primary care-based studies of parenting interventions on the impact of parental self-efficacy, effectiveness, and reducing severe discipline and abuse. For years Dr. Schilling has been an important participant in the recruitment piece of the fellowship, meeting with potential fellows and providing key feedback. Dr. Schilling will expand the core faculty expertise within the program and enhance the fellowship experience.
As Dr. Schilling moves into this role, Kori Flower, MD, MS, MPH, Professor of Pediatrics and Division Chief for General Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, will rotate out of the Associate Director position, into a focus area lead role and will continue to support the fellowship from her leadership within the Department of Pediatrics. Thank you, Dr. Flower for your service to the program.
