Division of Pediatric Pulmonary Medicine
Saint Louis University School of Medicine's Division of Pediatric Pulmonary Medicine cares for children with acquired and congenital respiratory disorders as well as sleep disorders.
Supporting Children's Lung and Respiratory Health
The Division of Pediatric Pulmonary Medicine provides expert outpatient care for patients with common and complex medical conditions, such as cystic fibrosis, asthma, chronic coughs and sleep disorders. Through its Complex Medical Care Program, the division also helps coordinate care for children with medical complexity, such as patients in need of tracheostomy support or medical ventilation.
Division physicians are committed medical educators. They offer sleep medicine fellowship training and regularly teach residents and students studying to become doctors, nurses, physician assistants and respiratory therapists. The team provides local and national continuing medical education programs, as well.
Pediatric Pulmonary Research
The division has an active clinical research program, specializing in advancements for sleep disorders, asthma and cystic fibrosis. Physicians have taken leadership roles in local and national organizations, including the American Thoracic Society, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Pediatric Complex Care Association and American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
