Lisa Chamberlain, MD, MPH, is Chair of the Department of Pediatrics, the Fayez K. Ghishan, MD Endowed Director of the Steele Children’s Research Center, and Professor of General Pediatrics at the University of Arizona College of Medicine-Tucson.
 
Her academic focus is on reducing pediatric disparities. Her past research includes bridging early childhood education, pediatrics, and developing the evidence base for “Kinder Ready” clinics. Her health services research examines children with medical complexity, which led her to work in Sacramento increasing access to care in California. She is founder and co-director of the Stanford Pediatric Advocacy Track, a nationally replicated program training pediatricians to address child poverty through community and policy engagement. She co-founded the California Collaborative, training over 800 pediatricians a year, now replicated in 8 states. Dr. Chamberlain is a nationally recognized pediatric advocate and has just been named the President-elect of the American Pediatrics Society, the nation’s largest research-focused professional pediatrics association.
