About Joel...

Dr. Joel Schwab was a tremendous mentor, dedicated medical educator and skilled and passionate pediatrician who was devoted to the care of his patients.  He envisioned and initially created this website years ago when I (Lolita) worked with him as Co-Clerkship Directors.  His goal for this website was to provide a quick, easy, free, and helpful resource for students studying pediatrics and for the residents that taught them.  It brought Joel great joy to know that students near and far accessed his website, and speaks to his lasting legacy in pediatrics. 

Thanks Joel for doing what you loved, and teaching us all in the process and thank you to the Schwab family and friends for their continued support for this resource.
