She went on to complete a Pediatric Critical Care fellowship also at the U of R and is now triple boarded in Pediatric Critical Care as well. Dr. Cholette is currently in her second year of Pediatric Cardiology Fellowship and is an attending in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care unit.
Research Bio
Dr. Jill Cholette has research interests in thrombosis and use of blood products in critically ill pediatric patients, particularly those undergoing cardiac surgery. Dr. Cholette is working to clarify the role of inflammation in the development of thrombosis, and to determine the optimal anticoagulation regimen for the pediatric post-op cardiac surgery patient.
Her other work involves blood utilization in the pediatric ICU patient, and she is developing a transfusion strategy for the pediatric post-op cardiac surgery patients.
Dr. Cholette's clinical interests are: thrombosis, hemostasis, and inflammation.
