  • Biography

    After 15 years of basic and clinical research in lung diseases of newborns, Dr. Jackson changed his major focus from research to neonatal medical direction, strategic planning, and business services. To improve his administrative skills, he completed the executive Masters in Health Administration at the University of Washington in 2007.  After finishing 25-years as the SCH NICU medical director, he redirected his energies to neonatal counseling in the prenatal clinics at SCH and at UWMC.  I'm interested in the development of methods to teach empathetic communication skills to clinicians, and methods to help parents make difficult medical decisions for their fetuses and newborns; adaptation of workshops with patient simulation for videoconferencing; and the development of the PRISM program to teach resilience skills to NICU parents.

    Current administrative and training responsibilities: Neonatology liaison to the Prenatal Diagnosis Clinics at Seattle Children’s Hospital and the University of Washington Medical Center; member of the CONNECT program leadership team for teaching communication skills to clinicians; member of CUMG Physician Education, Billing, Compliance Committee; at-large member of the SCH Medical Executive Committee; member of the SCH/UW Pediatric Intern Retreat Steering Committee; and division educator for professional billing documentation and compliance.
