Clinical And Health Services Self Nomination for Brian Gulack

Pediatric Surgery

Rush University Medical Center

I have been working with the American Pediatric Surgical Association to help advance the ability of new pediatric surgery faculty to get involved and funded in clinical research projects as I think this is paramount to improving the quality and quantity of good research to guide treatment.  A more universal organization like AAS would allow me to help an even broader group.  As a new faculty myself, I can provide a useful experience and wisdom to improving educational activities put on by this committee specifically focused at improving the quality of clinical projects and improving grant writing and acceptance in this important demographic.
