She serves as 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.
Dr. Simione’s research explores the determinants and impacts of feeding and nutrition-related disorders—including pediatric feeding disorders and childhood obesity—through the lens of implementation science, family-centered outcomes, and telehealth. Her clinical work focuses on caring for children with pediatric feeding disorders, and she has led the development of clinical programs and quality improvement initiatives to enhance care delivery.
She earned her undergraduate degree from Boston University and her master’s in speech-language pathology from Northwestern University. Her early clinical career included work in Early Intervention, outpatient rehab, and private practice, where she consulted extensively with school systems to support children with feeding disorders. Dr. Simione completed her PhD in Rehabilitation Sciences at the MGH Institute of Health Professions, with research centered on the development of feeding skills and innovative assessment methods using technological and physiological tools. She later completed a postdoctoral fellowship at MGH to deepen her expertise in implementation science and clinical research.
Her work has been funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and private foundations, and she has served as co-investigator and project lead on multi-site studies funded by NIH and the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI). Dr. Simione is a frequent national and international presenter and has authored numerous publications. She has also served as Chair of the International Pediatric Feeding Disorder Conference, sponsored by Feeding Matters, for the past two years.
