Summary
Dr. Slusher divides her time between the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Hennepin Healthcare and research, teaching, and clinical care at non-profit and academic hospitals Nigeria, Uganda, Kenya, and several other countries throughout sub Saharan Africa. Her research in collaboration with both low and middle income partners and her Minnesota partners includes both critical care topics including bubble CPAP beyond the neonate and the diagnosis and treatment of severe neonatal jaundice in addition to helping other trainees and young faculty develop their research. Dr. Slusher regularly lectures for medical trainees (nurses, med students, residents and fellows) and consultants in the U.S., Nigeria, Africa and Thailand. She enjoys developing creative low-cost innovations for doing procedures in low resource settings and team teaching these procedures in multiple venues locally, nationally, and internationally.
