She is the CHAM physician leader of ImproveCareNow, a national collaborative that champions improved care for children and youth with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Her research in pediatric IBD examines many facets, extending from the racial differences in initial presentation, early treatment and 1-year outcomes in pediatric Crohn’s disease, to gender differences in satisfaction with work-life balance among pediatric gastroenterologists. Dr. Tomer’s work has been published in a number of reviewed journals, books, review articles, and abstracts.
