RESEARCH AND CLINICAL SUMMARY

Dr. Philip L. Graham III graduated from the George Washington School of Medicine and did both a residency in pediatrics and a fellowship in pediatric infections diseases at the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center where he is now an Assistant Professor and Pediatric Infectious Diseases Attending Physician. He serves as the Assistant Hospital Epidemiologist for Pediatrics. In addition, Dr. Graham is the Emergency Preparedness Coordinator for the Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital of New York. He has a Masters degree in Biostatistics and Patient Oriented Research from the Columbia University School of Public Health and does work in patient safety and quality improvement.

His research interests include the epidemiology of infections in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, the epidemiology of Staphylococcus aureus, information technology, and secondary analysis of complex databases. He is currently studying the interface of gram negative gastrointestinal colonization and infection in neonates at Columbia and Cornell.
