The Pediatric Lounge, Where Pediatric Physicians Come to Share Their Stories and Success

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. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she has served on University, state, and national advisory committees. For the last five years, Dr. Jackson has been the Dean of the UMKC School of Medicine, working to promote recruitment and retention of a diverse student body and faculty, inspire changes in an already innovative curriculum, and promote a vibrant discovery enterprise for their MD degree programs, the Masters in Science Physician Assistant, the Masters in Science Anesthesia Assistant and Graduate Health Education programs.
