[AUDIO LOGO] My name is Kathryn Stigliano. I'm a pediatrician. I work with kids from birth through 21. And I take care of a wide array of conditions. We do your annual well-child checkup. I will also see you for urgent care visits. And so we really take care of you throughout your early life. I was drawn to medicine because of an interest in science, and also just wanting to have an impact in people's lives. And in medical school, for me, it became apparent that I really enjoyed working with kids. It was my favorite rotation. And then reflecting backwards, it became obvious, like, oh, I'd always been coaching soccer or babysitting and things like that. And so-- tutoring kids in science in college. And so all of those things combined, it was like, oh, this seems like the obvious choice for me-- is to work with kids in this field that I've chosen. I am co-leader of the Reach Out and Read program at the University of Chicago at Comer and Cottage Grove. And what the Reach Out and Read program is-- it's a national program that helps incorporate literacy right into our well-child checkups. We know how important reading is for kids and that their parents are their first teachers. And so by providing them with a book at each well-child checkup, we're really setting the foundations not only for the families, but for ourselves as pediatricians. It helps us to see how they're doing developmentally. And so it's a wonderful program. What drew me to pediatrics, partially, was the opportunity not only to take care of your patient, the child, but also families. And so it's really special when you have-- when I get to see multiple kids in the same family and develop a relationship with them as well as their parents. And I think that really is what's most important to me as a primary care doctor-- is that knowing what's going on in the whole family, being able to treat that whole family together really helps-- it really impacts their care. All of those factors go into what your health is. It's not just your physical health. But it's your mental, your emotional health. And so working with families, being able to help them through when your child is sick or having a difficult time, but then also being there to celebrate those things we talk about at your annual well-child checkup, like moving to the next grade and those kinds of things as well-- [AUDIO LOGO]

Some of our physicians and health professionals collaborate with external pharmaceutical, medical device, or other medical related entities to develop new treatments and products to improve clinical outcomes for patients. In some instances, the physician has ownership interests in the external entity and/or is compensated for advising or speaking about the entity’s products or treatments. These payments may include compensation for consulting and speaking engagements, equity, and/or royalties for products invented by our physicians. To assure objectivity and integrity in patient care, UChicago Medicine requires all physicians and health professionals to report their relationships and financial interests with external entities on an annual basis. This information is used to review relationships and transactions that might give rise to potential financial conflicts of interest, and when considered to be significant a management plan to mitigate any biases is created.
