Biography

Dr. Michael P. Goldman is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Emergency Medicine at the Yale School of Medicine and an attending physician in the Pediatric Emergency Department at Yale-New Haven Children's Hospital. His scholarly pursuits stem from his passion for medical education and deep interest in quality improvement science. Projects focus around designing interventions to both improve the system in which we deliver care while at the same time pursuing how these interventions can uncover novel educational strategies for staff and trainees, alike. Dr. Goldman holds educational leadership roles in the pediatrics emergency medicine fellowship and pediatric residency. He is the medical director of the Pediatric Critical Care Transport Team and Connecticut's State Partnership of Emergency Medical Services for Children.

Dr. Goldman did his Pediatrics residency and Chief Residency at the New York-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital at Columbia University Medical Center and completed his Pediatric Emergency Medicine fellowship at Boston Children's Hospital. Prior to a career in medicine, Dr. Goldman was a special education teacher.

Clinical Care

Overview

Michael P. Goldman, MD, knows the pediatric emergency department can be a scary place for children and their families. With that in mind, Dr. Goldman, who specializes in pediatric emergency medicine, works to bring a sense of calm and understanding to the bedside.

Dr. Goldman says he never assumes one approach will work for all families. “Some want empathy. Others focus on testing. And still others would do anything to prevent their child from a needle stick,” he says. “We believe the best strategy is to ask the patient and family about their biggest concerns. This helps to maximize the limited time we have with each patient.”

Growing up playing team sports, Dr. Goldman says working in a busy emergency department is not so different. “Everyone on our team knows their individual roles well, but we also know how to check in with each other,” he says. “A highly functional team creates an ideal experience for patients and their families, and I love being a part of it.”

Dr. Goldman is an assistant professor of pediatrics (emergency medicine) and of emergency medicine at Yale School of Medicine. His research interests include improving medical decision making. “As emergency department providers, we make thousands of critical and trivial, as well as evidence- and experience-based decisions each shift,” he says. “Without feedback on how our decisions play out, we may develop incorrect patterns. My research involves creating mechanisms to deliver feedback of this nature across pediatric emergency care.”
