Meg Simione, PhD CCC-SLP, is a clinician-scientist with a focus on infant and child feeding and growth and implementing innovations to improve care delivery. She is a research scientist in the Division of General Academic Pediatrics at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), a speech-language pathologist, and Instructor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School. Her research has examined the determinants and impacts of growth-, feeding-, and nutrition-related disorders, including both pediatric feeding disorders and childhood obesity, implementation science, family-centered outcomes, and telehealth approaches to care. As a clinician, she cares for children with pediatric feeding disorders and has developed and directed clinical programs and quality improvement initiatives to improve care for these children. Dr. Simione attended Boston University as an undergraduate. After receiving her master’s degree at Northwestern University, she worked as a speech-language pathologist providing care to children and their families in various settings including Early Intervention, outpatient rehab, and her own private practice where she did extensive consulting to school systems to support children with pediatric feeding disorders and school staff. She then enrolled in an interdisciplinary PhD program in Rehabilitation Sciences at the MGH Institute of Health Professions and her doctoral research focused on the normal development of feeding skills and novel approaches to feeding and speech assessment using technologic and physiologic approaches. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship at MGH to develop additional skills in implementation science, clinical research, and family-centered outcomes. Dr. Simione’s research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and foundations. She has served as a co-investigator and project lead for two multi-site Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) and NIH-funded studies. She has authored numerous publications and has presented nationally and internationally. She has served as the International Pediatric Feeding Disorder Conference Chair (sponsored by Feeding Matters) for the past two years. Unlimited
