Alyson K. Baker, MD

As a pediatric intensivist, I take great pride in caring for critically ill children. Particularly, I thrive on the interplay of the different organ systems and their physiology. My specific clinical and research focus are on those children who suffer from neurologic disorders within critical care.

 

Primary Interests

- Neuromonitoring techniques in neurocritical care

- Clinical pathway development centered around neurocritical care diagnosis
