Rita Dadiz, D.O.

See information for Patients. Viewing information for Researchers.

Dr. Dadiz's focus is on postgraduate medical education and the evaluation of simulators as educational tools for teamwork and skills training. Through a collaborative effort between the Obstetric and Pediatric departments, multidisciplinary teams comprised of residents, fellows, nurses, nurse practitioners and physicians participate in simulated high-risk delivery scenarios using high-fidelity mannequins. Dr. Dadiz is evaluating whether teamwork amongst Obstetric and Pediatric providers and patient outcomes would be improved through simulation-based training.

1. Development of methods to improve residents' active learning in their neonatal education.

2. How residents translate their education in the NICU into their careers post-residency training.

3. Evaluation of high-fidelity simulators in the training of housestaff, nurses and respiratory therapists in delivery room resuscitations and patient codes in the NICU.

4. Long-term effects of inhaled nitric oxide for the management of pulmonary hypertension in the newborn.
