Dara Brodsk

My research focus is to examine the impact of educational programs that I’ve instituted. I am also interested in guiding others about using evaluational tools that I’ve co-created.

Background

Dara Brodsky, MD is a neonatologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), an Associate Director of the BIDMC Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and an Assistant Professor in Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School (HMS). Dr. Brodsky attended medical school at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, finished her pediatric residency at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, where she received the Senior Resident Teacher of the Year Award, and then completed her neonatology fellowship training in the Harvard Neonatology Fellowship Program.

Currently, she is very involved in medical education at HMS and in the Harvard Neonatal Fellowship Program; she recently received the 2010 Merton Bernfield Teaching Award in Neonatology. She is a co-director of the Newborn Medicine Summer Student Research Program at Children’s Hospital, chair of the Neonatology Curriculum Committee for the Harvard Neonatology Fellowship Program, and member of the Academy at Harvard Medical School.

She is co-author of Neonatology Review, the first board review book for neonatology fellows, co-editor of Neonatology Review: Q & A, and co-editor of the textbook Primary Care of the Premature Infant.
