Allison Judkins, MD is passionate about improving the care of our most vulnerable populations, both in the US and abroad, and sharing that passion with others through medical education. She has the privilege of doing just that in her clinical career as an academic neonatologist at the University of Utah, caring for our most fragile babies, and training the next generation of physicians to do the same. She has been the site lead in both India and Nepal for the last 5 years for ongoing health care improvement projects, including Helping Babies Breathe (HBB) initiatives as well as successful community-based educational initiatives in caring for high mortality populations, including low birthweight infants. Currently, she is working with academic partners in Nepal developing a sustainable HBB/Helping Mothers Survive (HMS) dissemination in Nepal's most remote settings, as well as a quality improvement project assessing neonatal hypothermia and thermal care practices in the same regions. She has had the privilege to lead teams of students in multiple quality improvement and educational projects in collaboration with the governments and experts in Nepal and India, and mentor them through the delicate process of conducting sound, sustainable, collaborative projects with local partners. Through this work, she has been able to collaborate with the AAP in global educational and QI efforts, including the implementation of Essential Newborn Care (ENC) Now in Bangladesh and Nigeria, and Project ECHO in Ethiopia. In her free time, she enjoys spending time outdoors in beautiful Utah with her husband and children.
