About Dr. Aronson - CV
I am a board certified general pediatrician and
pediatric infectious diseases specialist with a faculty appointment at
the Weill Medical College of Cornell University as Clinical Assistant
Professor of Pediatrics. I recently participated as a co-principal investigator
in a research project investigating Tuberculosis and other infectious
diseases in children adopted from abroad through the TB Elimination Division
of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the research findings
will be published in Pediatrics in the near future.
I have been working as an international adoption
medicine specialist for the past eight years. 300 newly adopted children
from abroad are evaluated in my office each year and many of these children
are followed long-term as part of my primary care pediatric practice.
I have seen about 6,500 children adopted from abroad in my office in the
last few years.
I am part of a national network of adoption medicine
specialists who have recently become an official section of the American
Academy of Pediatrics called the Provisional Section on Adoption; this
group organizes workshops for adoption professionals all over the country.
I speak and write about international adoption for family adoption groups,
adoption agencies, and physicians. As part of my work as an adoption medicine
specialist, I review pre-adoption medical reports and evaluate videos
and photographs. I also prepare people for travel abroad and am available
for consultations by phone when families are traveling to complete an
adoption.
As the Founder and Executive Medical Director
of Worldwide Orphans Foundation, a 501c3, which sponsors research
and education in orphanages abroad, I travel to many orphanages in Eastern
Europe, Russia, Asia, and Latin America. The mission of the foundation
is to learn about orphanage health issues and plan strategies to improve
orphanage conditions. The foundation sends students and healthcare professionals
as participants in the Orphan Ranger Program to live and work in orphanages
to form liaisons with orphanage educators, staff, and doctors in an attempt
to improve living conditions for orphans.
In the summer 2000, I opened the International
Pediatric Health Services, PLLC at 151 East 62nd Street in Manhattan to
continue my work as an adoption medicine specialist, pediatrician, and
infectious diseases specialist.
I have always loved the inner spirit of the child.
I look to the child in myself and my experiences as a child to guide my
work with families. As a teacher for ten years prior to becoming a pediatrician
and now as an adoptive parent I feel close to children and this passion
for them is in every aspect of my work as a pediatrician.
