Pediatric patients present a unique challenge as the medical encounter always involves a third party being the child's parent or legal guardian. At times there are challenges with these interactions which can potentially interfere with the primary reason for the patient's visit. We will simulate several different types of challenging parent interactions and discuss methods to help mitigate these while keeping the patient as the primary focus.

Eileen M. Raynor, MD

I have practiced Academic pediatric otolaryngology for over 20 years first in Florida and then in NC. I found myself fascinated by otolaryngology early in my medical school training because of the wide variety of patients and procedures we get to manage. Additionally, I especially love working with children and their families; it is a privilege to play a small role in a child's growth and development. I am drawn to surgery because it epitomizes the combination of art and science in medicine allowing for creative solutions to complicated problems. In my free time, I also pursue creative hobbies. I play the piano, and I still take lessons weekly. I also make jewelry, enjoy learning languages, such as Spanish and Russian, reading, traveling, and practicing photography with my husband.

I enjoy meeting patients and their families and am particularly interested in preparing patients and their families for the transition from pediatric to adult care as well as helping patients learn to effectively manage their chronic illness and thrive as individuals in spite of the difficult challenges they face. In my free time I love to travel, garden and fish.
