Biography

For the past 35 years, Dr. van der Jagt has provided a broad and diverse spectrum of pediatric care including primary care, pediatric critical care, pediatric hospital medicine, pediatric transport medicine and pediatric procedural sedation. He was the first full time pediatric intensivist at the institution formally initiating the discipline of pediatric critical care medicine. Similarly, he initiated pediatric hospital medicine as both a discipline and a division of the department of pediatrics. He is Chief of pediatric hospital medicine, manages its practice and and continues to be active in quality improvement/assurance projects and committees throughout the Children's Hospital (e.g. GCH Quality and Safety Committee, GCH Resuscitation and Rapid Response Team Committees). Another large component of his clinical practice is pediatric procedural sedation including being formally designated as the Pediatric Sedation Officer for the Children's Hospital. In this capacity he is responsible for overseeing all pediatric procedural sedation at the institution.
