Department of Pediatrics

My primary interests involve medical student & resident education, care of the acutely ill child & parental education on health maintenance for their children, preventative medicine, and child safety/injury prevention.

Dr. Ann-Marie Tantoco is a med-peds hospitalist in Northwestern Memorial Hospital and Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. She is board certified in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics.

Rebecca Stephen, MD, MS is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Ann & Robert H Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago.

Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago.

My primary clinical interest lies in pediatric CT and MR imaging, with a specialty expertise and research focus in pediatric cardiovascular imaging.

Dr. Sukal-Moulton is a faculty member with a primary appointment in the Physical Therapy and Human Movement Sciences Department, where she teaches in the Lifespan, Treatment of Patients with Neurological Dysfunction, Complex Patients, and Electrophysical Agents curriculum, with a focus on pediatrics. 

Bio I am a Pediatric Hematologist with an academic focus and clinical expertise in Thrombosis and Hemostasis and Neonatal Hematology. I am passionate about understanding the role of the developing hemostatic system and it's impact on  neonatal thrombosis, the interaction of clinical and acquired risk factors in thrombus development and developing risk stratification models to predict thrombosis. Academic Focus My clinical-research focus is on neonatal thrombosis and bleeding, new anti-thrombotic therapies and improving quality of life in children on extended anticoagulation. My investigator in...

Dr. Evans received a BSc in Exercise Sciences from the University of Birmingham (1st class honors, 2003-2006).

My primary clinical interest is in infections in immunocompromised patients, including stem cell and solid organ transplant recipients. I am involved in numerous clinical trials involving vaccines, anti-infectives and diagnostics, in both the immunocompromised population and in other pediatric infections. I also study the pathogenesis of viral encephalitis, using models which focus on host-pathogen interactions in neurologic disease due to herpes simplex virus in newborns.

Clinically, I am a pediatric cardiac intensivist and I care for children of all ages with congenital and acquired heart disease who require critical care. Academically, I focus on medical education through the teaching and learning of students, trainees, staff and faculty. Through this work, I use simulation as my primary medium as well as small and large group didactic sessions in teaching cardiac physiology, resuscitation, communication, teamwork, feedback and coaching.
