Personal Statement

Championing CHKD's Urgent Care initiative has been incredibly rewarding; there is nothing better than healing an ill or injured child.

Bio

Coming out of medical school, Dr. Cholis sought a practice that would remain heavily clinical and found it in critical care medicine.

He is passionate about providing the best and safest care possible in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and about teaching both residents and nurses while explaining the science of medicine to the families affected and involved.

He has recently expanded his role to include quality and safety and serves as one of the PICU "safety coaches."

Away from the hospital, Dr. Cholis enjoys gardening, water sports, grilling and the beach.
