Get to Know Me
Dr. Charles Paidas is chief of the Division of Pediatric General Surgery. He's been a medical school vice dean and professor, invited lecturer, researcher, author and editor of major medical journals. He's board-certified in general surgery, pediatric surgery and surgical critical care, and has treated kids and teens for more than 30 years.Why I Treat Children
Everything starts with childhood. I've always been fascinated with children — and families as a whole. I'm very interested in the role of healthy families in the greater framework of society.Ìý Another subject that fascinates me is embryology (the study of babies while they grow and develop in the womb) and the health of babies before they're even born.Ìý ÌýWhat I'm Passionate About
I'm passionate about us delivering valuable, team-based, safe health care for children.Ìý And I'm passionate about training future physicians, and believe that a hospital’s participation in good, solid graduate medical education (programs that train medical school graduates in their residencies and fellowships) is a big asset to the organization — and to patients and families — providing real benefits in the enhanced quality of care that it helps achieve. ÌýHow I Try to Make A Difference
In addition to caring for children, one way I work to make a difference is through my emphasis on faculty development, including areas such as physician wellness and professionalism. I also try to make a difference in the field of medicine through my participation and membership in The Society of University Surgeons and The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma.
