Description of Clinical Expertise
245 I am a med-peds trained pediatric hospitalist with a special interest and expertise in Somatic Symptom and Related Disorders (SSRDs). I see outpatients in both the CHOP Amplified Musculoskeletal Pain Syndrome (AMPS) program and in Functional Neurological Disorders (FND) program, which I developed as medical director. I am interested in improving medical and behavioral management for chldren and adolescents with SSRDs, coordinating high quality and evidence-based multidisciplinary care in conjunction with colleagues from behavioral health and Rehab services.26 29
