About
Cecilia Gállego Suárez, MD, joined the Division of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine at University Hospitals Rainbow Babies and Children's in August 2024. She completed her medical training in Mexico and moved to the United States with the goal of pursuing a career in pediatrics and academic medicine. Before her residency and fellowship training, she participated in research focused on obesity-associated inflammation and metabolic disease. She then completed her residency in general pediatrics and a fellowship in pediatric critical care medicine at the University of Michigan, where she also served as the chief fellow during her last year of training.
Her clinical and research interests focus on better understanding the impact of nutritional status in the host immune response in pediatric sepsis, ARDS and multi-organ dysfunction; and improving the utilization and outcomes for patients supported on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for cardiopulmonary failure.
Industry Relationships
University Hospitals is committed to transparency in our interactions with industry partners, such as pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical device companies. At UH, we disclose practitioner and their family members’ ownership and intellectual property rights that are or in the process of being commercialized. In addition, we disclose payments to employed practitioners of $5,000 or more from companies with which the practitioners interact as part of their professional activities. These practitioner-industry relationships assist in developing new drugs, devices and therapies and in providing medical education aimed at improving quality of care and enhancing clinical outcomes. At the same time, UH understands that these relationships may create a conflict of interest. In providing this information, UH desires to assist patients in talking with their practitioners about industry relationships and how those relationships may impact their medical care.
UH practitioners seek advance approval for certain new industry relationships. In addition, practitioners report their industry relationships and activities, as well as those of their immediate family members, to the UH Office of Outside Interests annually. We review these reports and implement management plans, as appropriate, to address conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with medical research, clinical care and purchasing decisions.
