In our series, the Resident Files, we feature the thoughts and work of talented pediatric residents here in Colorado and around the country.

In this Resident Files series, we are going to hear from a resident who is working to ensure that patients and families are adequately screened for diaper and formula needs in the medical home.

Today, I am happy to be speaking with Dr. Brooke Pfister and Alisa Chandrabose.

Brooke is currently a Chief resident and Alisa is the Director of Ambulatory and Satellite Services at Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago.
