Since October of 2018, Dr. Mandelbaum has been working part-time; reading pediatric EEGs at Hasbro Children’s Hospital in RI, working as a part-time attending in child neurology and neurodevelopmental disabilities at Metropolitan Hospital in New York City, doing locum tenens work in various hospitals, including St Jude Research Children’s Hospital in Memphis, Penn State Children’s Hospital, Albany Medical Center, and serving as a volunteer faculty member at the University Teaching hospital in Lusaka, Zambia. This work schedule has offered a unique opportunity to work in different divisions, see what issues they have in common, what issues are different, and how they are being dealt with by different groups.
