Dr Wood is the embodiment of all that NM stands for in quality care. Dr Wood deserves recognition for delivering the highest quality of care that anyone could imagine. Her clinical knowledge and expertise is always up to date & her bedside manner is beyond reproach. Dr Wood triages medical issues & prioritizes testing and interventions. I also value her resourcefulness-if plan A doesn’t work then pop to plan B. I HOPE THAT BY COMPLETING THIS EVALUATION THAT THE ADMINISTRATION WILL KNOW HOW GRATEFUL I AM TO BE ON DR WOOD’S CASELOAD-she is a gem!

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships.
