Zuzanna Kubicka, MD obtained her medical degree at the Medical University in Lodz, Poland and completed pediatric residency at St. Barnabas Hospital Bronx, New York Presbyterian Hospital Network, followed by neonatal-perinatal fellowship at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Lebanon, NH. She joined Boston Children’s Hospital in 2007. Dr. Kubicka has a special interest in the neonatal quality improvement. She participated in multiple QI projects including prevention of nosocomial infection, optimizing nutrition in very low birth weight infants with exclusive human milk diet, steroids for prevention of chronic lung disease. She led a multidisciplinary project to reduce chronic lung disease in very low birth weight infants, resulting in significant improvement in neonatal care. The outcomes were subsequently published in a peer-reviewed journal: “Quality improvement to reduce chronic lung disease rates in very low birth weight infants: high compliance with a respiratory care bundle in a small NICU.” Dr. Kubicka is also a co-author in a book chapter in AAP Textbook of pediatric care and Neonatology for primary care on transient metabolic disturbances in newborn.
