Pediatric Hospital Medicine Fellow
Nationwide Children's Hospital
Nationwide Children's Hospital/The Ohio State University College of Medicine
Monica L. Hoff, MD is a first year Pediatric Hospital Medicine fellow at Nationwide Children’s Hospital/The Ohio State University. She received her degree in Public Health at Johns Hopkins University, her medical degree at The Ohio State University College of Medicine, and completed her pediatric residency and chief residency at Nationwide Children’s Hospital.
Her medical education research involves teaching the knowledge, awareness, and skills necessary to mitigate implicit biases in both patient care and academia. To this end, Dr. Hoff’s scholarship involves curriculum development that seeks to replace biased responses with equitable and culturally-competent responses.
As a trainee, Dr. Hoff strives to promote positive culture change within the workplace that she hopes will translate not only to pediatrics but also medicine as a discipline. For this important work, she has been named a New Century Scholar of the Academic Pediatric Association; a Billie Wright Adams Scholar of the National Medical Association; and an American Society of Pediatric Program Directors Frontiers in Science Awardee. She is a recipient of the Society of Pediatric Research’s Award to Enhance Diversity in the Research Workforce as well as the Jack Metcoff Award for the Most Outstanding Research by a Resident or Fellow at the Midwest Society of Pediatric Research. Locally, she is founder of the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Resident Diversity and Inclusion Coalition (RDIC) and principal investigator of the Pediatric Equity and Advocacy Resident Learning Series (PEARLS) curriculum.
