O'Boyle honored for pediatric work
Local pediatrician Dr. Meade O'Boyle received the Award of Excellence last week during a symposium about pediatric care at Monroe Civic Center.
The event is sponsored annually by St. Francis Medical Center and Dr. Terry D. King, pediatric cardiologist.
The symposium is held annually to give pediatric healthcare professionals a chance to learn new techniques, treatment and assessment skills to improve clinical practices related to pediatric healthcare issues.
Every year, the symposium committee honors a person for his or her commitment to pediatrics.
O'Boyle first became a child abuse advocate in 1968 while serving as a pediatric intern at Strong Memorial Hospital in Buffalo, N.Y.
She continued her work while serving as a resident at Children's Hospital in Washington, D.C. While there, O'Boyle and two other doctors wrote the first protocol for use in the emergency room to help other physicians identify children who had been abused.
In the early 1970s, O'Boyle traveled to Capitol Hill to show members of Congress pictures of child abuse. That meeting eventually led to the very first legislation on child abuse.
In the late 1970s, O'Boyle moved to Ouachita Parish with her family and has been instrumental in the treatment of child abuse and sexual assault victims. She is currently the co-director of the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at St. Francis Medical Center and will sit on the first board dedicated to child abuse scheduled by the American Academy of Pediatrics later this year.
O'Boyle was honored between sessions at the symposium. More than 300 healthcare professionals attended the day-long event, and participants received continuing education credit in their field. Some topics included in the symposium were Immunizations, Street Drugs and Automated External Defibrillators. |
