State of the Department UpdateStead Family Department of Pediatrics alumni, In the past year, our department has faced adversity, yet we have thrived in all parts of our mission. At this time last year, we had 34 fewer providers and support staff than we do today. We filled these new positions to increase our clinical excellence, and to grow our ability to undertake new research and apply new scientific findings to the care of our patients. And thanks to the efforts of staff and faculty, we achieved the second-highest yearly tally for NIH grants awarded to our department in the last seven years. This is a strong result, given the intense nationwide competition for federal research funding. In response to the record admissions to our NICU and PICU, and to our overall patient occupancy, we appointed an Associate Chief Medical Officer to focus on consistent standards of optimal care and efficiency in patient access to and throughout the inpatient experience. Our educational programs continue to thrive as well, welcoming more residents and fellows than ever, even as our personnel and faculty faced the challenge of remote interviews and recruitment. And throughout these growing pains, our faculty were recognized for excellence in their scholarly work and clinical care, as acknowledged by myriad notable awards from our enterprise, our Iowa City community, and our national and international partner institutions. I invite you to explore the stories we've curated for you below, forward this newsletter to friends and colleagues, engage with us on social media, and say hello whenever you see us. We have so much to share, and so much to be grateful for. Thank you for your excellent work and support for the University of Iowa Stead Family Department of Pediatrics. Sincerely,
