Gerard Wakim, MD

Clinical Assistant Professor
Department of Pediatrics
Division of General Pediatrics

The follow-up of a child is, for me, the most wonderful aspect of applied medicine and humanity. I dedicated all my life to ensuring that children, the adults of tomorrow, would have a well balanced and responsible future. Clinical pediatrics gave me the opportunity to achieve such a goal.
