Dorinda M Escamilla–Padilla, DNP, RN CPNP-PC/AC
Assistant Professor
I have had the privilege of working for the Department of Pediatrics as an acute care pediatric nurse practitioner since January 2010. My service began by dividing my time between two divisions, Nephrology and Critical Care. This opportunity paved the road for my current position in the division of critical care, where I provide oversight, education, and management for all patients in the PICU with an emphasis on the post-operative pediatric abdominal transplant patient, predominately liver and kidney.
