For Dr. Bischoff, pediatrics offers a combination of complexity, breadth and long‑term connection that she finds deeply fulfilling.
“I see children from birth to age 18 with a wide variety of health conditions,” she said. “In some cases I follow them longitudinally and develop long‑term relationships with them and their families, which is really special and rewarding.”
Children’s resiliency is another part of what keeps her inspired.
“Children have an incredible capacity to recover and maintain a positive attitude, despite sometimes the most difficult circumstances."
