Hirshberg, MD, about her article “Clinical Equipoise Regarding Glycemic Control: A Survey of Pediatric Intensivist Perceptions,” which was published in the February 2013 issue of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine. The aim of the study was to see whether adult literature had impacted pediatric intensivists practices regarding blood glucose control. Hirshberg is an assistant professor of internal medicine at the University of Utah with an adjunct assistant professor appointment in the Department of Pediatrics in Salt Lake City, Utah. Hirshberg is also board certified as both an adult and pediatric intensive care unit (ICU) physician, working at both the Primary Children’s Medical Center Pediatric ICU as well as Intermountain Medical Center’s Shock-Trauma ICU for adults.
