"I am drawn to pediatric emergency medicine because of the tremendous variety of patients, illnesses and acuity that one encounters. Im constantly learning, in order to stay up with the latest advances. I am drawn to teaching for many of these same reasons sharing the excitement of pediatrics, learning every day to keep up with all of the incredible residents and students who come through our program and most importantly for me having the opportunity to listen to and support these tremendously bright and talented individuals as they make important personal and career decisions. Its a real gift to be a part of that process."

I have known Dr. Shugerman since February, 1988, in a working capacity. I was the office manager in the Emergency Department at Children's Hospital & Regional Medical Center from 2/88 until 1/98, where he was an attending physician. He is and always has been a fine gentleman, a fantastic physician; and is very highly devoted to his profession, his patients and the residents of the University of Washington School of Medicine/Children's Hospital & Regional Medical Center. I have the utmost confidence in him and his abilities and professionalism - he has attended to my granddaughter in an emergency situation. Additionally, he is a strong family man. Richard H. Lohrman
