Some topics in pediatrics are flashy — like seizures, mystery rashes and fevers. While those often make headlines, others, like pediatric nephrology, are a routine but critical part of daily practice. Understanding these bread-and-butter issues is essential to diagnosing so many patients. Protein in the urine, blood pressure creeping up or a UTI that is more than ‘just a UTI' are often signs that something may be wrong with the kidneys. In this episode, we examine those practical essentials and learn how PCPs can feel confident in managing these diagnoses. This episode was recorded on the exhibit floor of the 2025 Pediatric Academic Societies Conference in Honolulu, Hawaii. Joining us for this episode are Bradley Warady, MD, and Nathan Bines, MD, both from Children's Mercy Kansas City and the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine. Dr. Warady is the Director of the Division of Nephrology, a Professor of Pediatrics and the McLaughlin Family Endowed Chair in Nephrology. Dr. Beins is the Associate Program Director for the Pediatric Nephrology Fellowship Training Program, as well as a Clinical Associate Professor of Pediatrics. Some highlights from this episode include:  Understanding the core kidney issues in general pediatrics  How to identify these conditions early  The difference between benign findings and red flags  Tools for friendly language about topics that might be sensitive or embarrassing for a child  For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.

Organoids, three-dimensional cell models that can replicate an individual's organs, are valuable tools for testing medicines that might treat their illness. It can, however, take up to $10,000 and a year to grow organoids using conventional methods from patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells. Researchers at Children's Mercy Kansas City's Genomic Medicine Center developed a way to do this from about $200 and in two to three weeks. We spoke to Scott Younger, director of disease gene engineering at Children Mercy Kansas City's Genomic Medicine Center, about the process, the test it ran to match three children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy to an antisense oligonucleotide therapy, and the potential impact this may have on developing customized therapies for people with rare genetic diseases.

The Genomic Answers for Kids program at Children's Mercy Kansas City has increased access to cutting-edge genomic sequencing for children suspected of having rare genetic diseases and improved the diagnostic yield of these tests. The program has collected samples from 8,000 rare disease patients and their family members and diagnosed about 2,000 people to date. Nevertheless, payers have been reluctant to increase reimbursement rates for more comprehensive genomic testing, posing a challenge to its sustained and expanded use for children who can benefit from it. We spoke to Tomi Pastinen, director of the Center for Pediatric Genomic Medicine at Children's Mercy Kansas City, about the success of the program to date, the reimbursement challenges, and the future of the technology.

In this episode, Scott Becker speaks with Paul Kempinski, President and CEO of Children's Mercy Kansas City. Paul reflects on his leadership journey, shares his proudest achievements at Children's Mercy, and offers invaluable advice for emerging leaders, emphasizing the importance of culture, mission, and lifelong learning.

This episode will be part celebration, part reflection, and part insight. We will be celebrating what we learned from 1 year of hosting a live radio show and podcast, looking back at some of the highlights, and also sharing specific data on a group coaching program that follows the framework that our seasons have been focusing on this past year: Navigating Uncertainty, Developing Leadership Identity, Mapping a Strategy, Navigating Complexity, and Making a Greater Impact. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:How do you make an impact on leadership development in a large healthcare system where people generally work in siloes? How can you help clinical and academic leaders feel more prepared and more supported to create organizational change and lead in times of uncertainty? We will review our proprietary research-based 5-stage Strategic Leadership Pathway model and the results from a program evaluation study of this model conducted at Duke University and presented at the Pediatric Academic Societies Meeting.We'll explore questions such as:1. What might be the impetus for starting a group coaching program within academic healthcare - what was the need identified and why group coaching?2. What can you expect to gain from such a program and what are the implications?3. What impact could this kind of program potentially serve in highly complex academic medicine and healthcare environments in supporting leaders in those environments. And we'll also celebrate 50 episodes and 1 year of doing this radio show!***ABOUT OUR GUESTS:Dr. Mara Becker, MD, MSCE, is a physician-scientist and Vice Dean for Faculty of Duke University School of Medicine's Office of Faculty.

“It was something that I had always wanted to do, because I always felt this inclination to stand up for folks who didn't have a voice,” explains Michelle Patterson Wimes, SVP Chief Equity and Inclusion Officer at Children's Mercy Kansas City. Michelle began her professional journey as a teacher and then as a lawyer, thinking that was the best route to being able to help people. Along the way, she gathered experiences that made her the perfect candidate for working in DEI. Today, Michelle discusses her journey to becoming a Chief DEI Officer.  Michelle never let fear of trying something new stop her and has made several challenging career transitions throughout her journey. Her foreign language experience and proficiency in Spanish made her an excellent candidate for working with an international community. Then, as a lawyer, she found herself working in immigration law. Transitioning into DEI was a very natural progression with her experiences and goals, especially because a position for Diversity Director opened up at one of the firms she had previously practiced at. Wanting to be able to have a greater impact, she transitioned again, moving to another firm where she'd be able to create a professional development program in addition to the diversity and inclusion work. Then, the pandemic hit and another opportunity came around, this time with Children's Mercy in Kansas City. Attracted to the challenge and the opportunity to work in her local community, Michelle took a leap and began learning about equity and equality in healthcare.  Transitioning careers can be scary and very difficult, but also extremely rewarding. If you are in a position that no longer aligns with your values or does not offer opportunities for growth, it is useful to start planning an exit strategy. As Michelle says, life is too short to not enjoy what you are doing. Quotes “It was something that I had always wanted to do because I always felt this inclination to stand up for folks who didn't have a voice.” (7:56-8:05 | Michelle) “If it's not meaningful, if it doesn't align with my values, and I'm just exhausted where I don't even have time or energy to do anything else, then to me, it's time to start planning your exit strategy.” (29:40-29:52 | Michelle) “What they don't understand is that diversity should be interwoven into everything that you do.” (36:36-36:41 | Michelle)  “What happens a lot of times is that the existing leaders that are there feel like their territory is being encroached upon.” (36:57-37:06 | Michelle) “What we're seeing in healthcare is a lot of accrediting bodies putting standards around health equity that before now did not exist.” (46:43-46:53 | Michelle)   Links   Connect with Michelle Patterson Wimes: LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michellepattersonwimes/ Connect with Chris Batz: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisbatz/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theliongroupkc  Instagram: @theliongroupllc Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm  

A 1978 UMKC School of Medicine graduate, Dr. Jackson completed a pediatric residency at Cincinnati Children's and an infectious diseases fellowship at the University of Texas Southwestern before joining Children's Mercy Kansas City faculty in 1984. Acknowledged locally, regionally, and nationally as an educator on pediatrics and pediatric infectious diseases topics, she is recognized for developing one of the most robust pediatric infectious diseases programs in the country and for educating thousands of students, residents, fellows, and faculty in pediatrics throughout her nearly 40-year career. In 2019, she was recognized with the American Academy of Pediatrics award for Lifetime Contribution to Infectious Diseases Education. A fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Infectious Diseases Society of America, and the Pediatric Infectious Disease Society, she served as a National Vaccine Advisory Committee member from 2017-2021. She has also been elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society, the American Pediatric Society, the Society of Pediatric Research, and the Academic Pediatric Association.  She is a national thought leader in pediatric infectious disease topics. In 2014 with her colleagues at Children's Mercy, she identified the first cases of enterovirus D68 infection, leading to a CDC investigation that alerted pediatric providers around the country to the largest outbreak ever of this unique virus that led to respiratory failure and a polio-like syndrome that followed infection.

Data science -- often discussed with terms like artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data, data goverernance -- has the potential to transform every aspect of health care, from the patient experience to how, when and where care is provided, and improving outcomes. In this Transformational Pediatrics episode, Mark Hoffman, PhD, Chief Research Information Officer at Children's Mercy Kansas City, discusses the challenges and opportunities for data science within pediatric health care and gives examples where it is already making a difference for children today.

A 1978 UMKC School of Medicine graduate, Dr. Jackson completed a pediatric residency at Cincinnati Children's and an infectious diseases fellowship at the University of Texas Southwestern before joining Children's Mercy Kansas City faculty in 1984. Acknowledged locally, regionally, and nationally as an educator on pediatrics and pediatric infectious diseases topics, she is recognized for developing one of the most robust pediatric infectious diseases programs in the country and for educating thousands of students, residents, fellows, and faculty in pediatrics throughout her nearly 40-year career. In 2019, she was recognized with the American Academy of Pediatrics award for Lifetime Contribution to Infectious Diseases Education. A fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Infectious Diseases Society of America, and the Pediatric Infectious Disease Society, she served as a National Vaccine Advisory Committee member from 2017-2021. She has also been elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society, the American Pediatric Society, the Society of Pediatric Research, and the Academic Pediatric Association.  She is a national thought leader in pediatric infectious disease topics. In 2014 with her colleagues at Children's Mercy, she identified the first cases of enterovirus D68 infection, leading to a CDC investigation that alerted pediatric providers around the country to the largest outbreak ever of this unique virus that led to respiratory failure and a polio-like syndrome that followed infection. Her research efforts have focused on the characterization of Kawasaki disease, prevention of antibiotic resistance, judicious use of antibiotics, emerging viruses, and optimal use of vaccines.

We are thrilled to have Dr. Stephen Kingsmore, a dedicated physician, researcher, an inventor, and who is the currently the President/CEO of Rady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine in San Diego, California.  In this podcast, you will not only learn what drives Dr. Kingsmore's purpose to improve the lives of newborns and to prevent avoidable and unnecessary deaths due to late diagnosis of rare genetic condition, but also his challenges in clinical practice and research in making his dream of a learning healthcare system using genomic medicine a reality globally.  Among his achievements, Dr. Kingsmore pioneered the development of ultra-rapid Whole Genome Sequencing to decode rare disease in newborns. In 2021, he led the RCIGM team to break his own world speed record by achieving diagnosis via WGS in 13.5 hours. Dr. Kingsmore came to Rady Children's in 2015 from Children's Mercy Kansas City, where he was the Executive Director of Medical Panomics. He previously served as President and CEO of the National Center for Genome Resources; COO of Molecular Staging Inc.; Vice President of Research at CuraGen Corporation; founder of GatorGen; and Assistant Professor at the University of Florida's School of Medicine. Dr. Kingsmore received MB, ChB, BAO and DSc degrees from the Queen's University of Belfast. He trained in clinical immunology in Northern Ireland and did residency in internal medicine and fellowship at Duke University Medical Center. He is a fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists.  Learn from Dr. Kingsmore how to work through the challenges in research and clinical practice in advancing newborn screening research.   Podcast Interview Questions   Thank you, Dr. Kingsmore, for being a guest on the NBSTRN podcast, NBS SPOTlight. We are excited to speak with you today! Dr. Kingsmore, you are currently the President/CEO of Rady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine, where you lead a multi-disciplinary team of scientists, physicians and researchers who are pioneering the use of rapid Whole Genome Sequencing to enable precise diagnoses for critically ill newborns. How did your interest in rare disease research lead you to San Diego? Many of us remember specific milestones you and your team have accomplished and your calls to action have inspired stakeholders across the NBS community. During your presentation at our NBS Research Summit in 2021 you spoke about “NBS and Rapid Whole Genome Sequencing (rWGS) for Severe Infant Onset Genetic Diseases". Most recently, you were a part of the International Conference on Newborn Sequencing (ICoNS) in augural meeting where you joined researchers from across the world to share information about newborn sequencing initiatives. What were the major takeaways from that meeting, and what should the NBS Research Community be aware of? You recently published that your team has developed a “Scalable, high quality, whole genome sequencing from archived, newborn, dried blood spots.” Up to eighty-one genetic diseases are included in screening, thirty-six of which are recommended for NBS by a federal advisory committee known as the Recommended Uniform Screening Panel. As you know, there are more than 7,000 rare genetic diseases (RD) that affect 6-8% of the US population or about 30 million Americans. Addition to the RUSP is a lengthy process.  What are your thoughts on how the use of genome sequencing using dried blood spots to identify rare diseases could change the landscape of newborn screening policy when we currently adopt one condition at a time and the nationwide implementation can take years? We appreciate your contribution to the American Journal of Medical Genetics Special Issue on Newborn Screening Research, where Dr. Amy Brower and Dr. Kee Chan were co-editors of this issue. Your article on the “Dispatches from Biotech beginning BeginNGS: Rapid newborn genome sequencing to end the diagnostic and therapeutic odyssey” highlights the BeginNGS, a consortium in collaboration with academia, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and non-profit organization to provide a platform for implementing whole-genome sequencing for newborn screening, disease management and interventions, and rare disease drug development for use by partners around the world. Could you share the work in progress as of now? If we were to implement whole-genome sequencing for newborn screening globally one day, how do you envision long-term follow-up of management of care for the patient and families, including medical, non-medical, psychological services, education, and other related services to improve the quality of life to be supported? You received your medical training from the Queen's University of Belfast in Ireland. You trained in clinical immunology in Northern Ireland and did residency in internal medicine and fellowship at Duke University Medical Center. You are also a fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists. What sparked your interest in newborn screening? You have such a long history of successes and accomplishments that have global impact on health care and public health. In March of 2015, you surpassed your previous record in genetic sequencing by reducing the process to 26 hours, which was recognized in April 2016 by Guinness World Record as the fastest genetic sequencing in the world. Now, I think your team has reduced the time again.  On the flip side of the coin, would you mind sharing your biggest challenge —and what did you learn from that experience?  What's your biggest challenge in your research right now, and how are you tackling it? How could NBSTRN data tools and resources assist you? What does NBS research mean to you?

Just three years after Children's Mercy Research Institute launched its Genomic Answers for Kids program, it reported that it had hit the milestone of providing 1,000 rare disease diagnoses to families. One reason for the success of the GA4K program has been the use of advanced genomic sequencing that captures the full genome and methylome to reveal part of the human genome that has never been clinically tested to interpret changes beyond the genetic code. We spoke to Tomi Pastinen, director of the Genomic Medicine Center at Children's Mercy Kansas City, about the GA4K program, how new sequencing technology is allowing it to diagnose rare disease patients who previously were undiagnosable, and how it has the potential to alter the diagnostic odyssey for patients with rare, genetic diseases.

The American Academy of Pediatrics defines culturally sensitive care as “the delivery of care within the context of appropriate physician knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of all cultural distinctions leading to optimal health outcomes.”  In addition, providing culturally safe and sensitive care enhances patient-centered care which is one of the 6 aims of quality as defined by the Institute of Medicine and a part of the Triple Aim for populations as defined by the Institute for Health Improvement.  Today, we are going to hear from the authors of a review article that identified culturally sensitive interventions in pediatric primary care settings.  It was published in the February 2022 issue of Pediatrics. Today, I am happy to be speaking with Dr. Maya Ragavan and Dr. John, JC, Cowden. Maya is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. Maya is also a Community Partnered Researcher, and a general Pediatrician. JC is Professor of Pediatrics, a qualified bilingual primary care pediatrician, the Culture and Language Coaching Program Director and the Health Equity Integration Project Leader at Children's Mercy Kansas City.

Michaela Voss, MD  Nuggets from Dr. Voss to all medical providers include being ok with not always having a diagnosis for a symptom and assuring your patients “we will figure it out” and that eating disorders should always be on your differential.     How to determine target weight range (hint: Health determines weight, weight does not determine health) and how to know if a low heart rate is a sign of a strong conditioned heart (like in an athlete) or malnutrition.    People don't need to be a specialist in the ED world to catch and treat eating disorders! They're there, they don't discriminate and check biases.  Bio:  Michaela Voss, MD, is the Medical Director of The Eating Disorder Center at Children's Mercy – Kansas City, MO.  She graduated medical school from the University of Kansas Medical Center – Kansas City, KS, in 2010.
