Bio
| Background: | Dr. Ohning attended Purdue University, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry. He matriculated at Case Western Reserve University, graduating with a M.D. degree and a Ph.D. in Biochemistry. He trained at Duke University Medical Center in Pediatrics. His Fellowship training in Neonatology was at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. He was subsequently awarded a Clinician-Scientist grant from the American Heart Association and stayed on faculty for several years at the Cincinnati Children’s Research Institute. His research was on pulmonary surfactant proteins. That lab patented the artificial surfactant known as “Survanta”. Dr. Ohning then accepted a faculty position at the Medical University of South Carolina, transferring his grant and research lab to Charleston, SC. During this time, he also became the Medical Director of the MeduCare Neonatal Transport Team and the outreach program of the Perinatal Region. In 2000, Dr. Ohning relocated to the Greenville Children’s Hospital. For the next 16 years he was the Medical Director of the NICU and the Neonatal Transport Team. During that time, the average patient care days for the NICU climbed from 10,000 to >20,000 per year. He recently has formed a research affiliation with the Department of Psychology at Clemson University, exploring research in the realm of teamwork in the NICU environment. |
