Research Bio
Dr. Dadiz incorporates simulation-based learning and debriefing methodologies into postgraduate medical and nursing education with the goal of improving interprofessional communication and teamwork during patient care. With validated evaluation tools, she is investigating the impact of simulation-based team training for obstetric and neonatal providers on communication and patient outcomes during high-risk deliveries. Dr. Dadiz is the recipient of an award from the Health Resources and Services Administration to train healthcare providers throughout the Finger Lakes Region of New York State on the use of simulation-based learning and debriefing in quality improvement initiatives.
Dr. Dadiz is also the site director for the International Network for Simulation-Based Pediatric Innovation, Research and Education (INSPIRE). Dr. Dadiz also studies the use of inhaled nitric oxide in newborns with persistent pulmonary hypertension. She is the site investigator for a collaborative research project with the University at Buffalo - Women and Children's Hospital of Buffalo investigating the relationship between methemoglobin and response to inhaled nitric oxide in infants with pulmonary hypertension.
