Pediatric Program DirectorsMichele Holloway Nichols, M.D.Professor of PediatricsAn avid Auburn fan, I was first a Seminole--attending Florida State University as a dance major. I transferred to Auburn University,however, where I was in premed and graduated with a Chemistry degree. My medical school and residency years are some of myfavorite years! I obtained my Medical Degree from the University of Alabama School of Medicine and completed my Pediatric Residency and Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellowship at Children’s Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. I returned to thewarm, sunny southeast and joined the faculty at the University of Alabama at Birmingham as a Pediatric Emergency Medicine Attending. I was fortunate to be selected to serve as one of the Directors of the Pediatric Residency Program. What an awesomehonor to serve in this role--I especially enjoy the teaching and mentoring opportunities. I also served as the Pediatric EmergencyMedicine Fellowship Director for many years. As one of the Medical Co-Directors of the Regional Poison Control Center and a CoDirector of the Injury/ Advocacy rotation, I have many opportunities to teach about things I am passionate about--toxicology, community outreach, education, and injury prevention. I continue to serve as an Attending in the Pediatric Emergency Department where Iwork with the most amazing colleagues. My family is a top priority--I love nothing more than time with them! In my free time you mayfind me running around Star Lake, playing tennis on the neighborhood courts, teaching the church Youth, baking goodies at home,cheering on the Auburn Tigers (yes, even this year!), or just out and about with the family!Email: mnichols@peds.uab.eduNancy Tofil, M.D., MEd.Professor of PediatricsAfter completing my medical school training at The Ohio State College of Medicine, I came to Birmingham with my husband Ericfor residency in internal medicine/pediatrics. We did the couples match and he matched in internal medicine. Growing up in NewYork and Eric living his whole life in Ohio, we never anticipated staying in the south. After completing residency, Eric took a job atthe VA hospital and I completed a fellowship in pediatric critical care medicine. Eighteen years later, we are very happily still livinghere. During my fellowship I obtained my Masters in Education. I currently am the associate pediatric program director and themedical director of the pediatric simulation center. When not teaching or taking care of patients, I often am playing or coaching mytwo children in soccer or basketball or my new favorite sport: slalom skiing.Email: ntofil@peds.uab.eduCandice Dye, M.D.Assistant Professor of PediatricsBorn and raised primarily in Arkansas I moved to Birmingham just over a year ago after my husband was recruited back fromwhere he did his fellowship training. I went to undergrad at the University of Arkansas and then attended medical school at UAMSin Little Rock. I then stayed in Little Rock and completed my pediatric residency at UAMS/Arkansas Children's Hospital (ACH). Myhusband finished his fellowship at the same time I was finishing residency so after scoping out different places we both got offeredjobs in Little Rock and were there for 5years before "the call" from Birmingham came. I say "the call" because we always knew itwould happen just didn't know when. I worked in the Emergency Department at ACH and then transitioned into a combinationbetween hospitalist and outpatient pediatrics in which I served as co-director of the residency continuity clinic. After moving here Itook on a similar academic clinical roll within the Division of General Pediatrics in which I am the Medical Director of our PrimaryCare Clinic (the resident's continuity clinic) and also attend on wards and in the newborn nursery. I was honored when Dr. Nicholscame to me asking me to be one of the Assistant Program Directors. Working with the residents is my passion and I'm so glad toget to do that every day of my job! When not taking care of patients and working along side the residents, I enjoy spending timewith husband and two girls. I also love watching Razorback football, being outdoors -especially if it involves a beach, spendingtime with my family back in Arkansas, and being involved with our church and Sunday School class.Email: cdye@peds.uab.eduLauren Nassetta, M.D.Assistant Professor of PediatricsI grew up in Marietta, Georgia, but Birmingham is very much my home. I came initially to attend Birmingham-Southern College(GO PANTHERS!), where I met my husband. I stayed in Birmingham to attend Medical School at UAB, and I learned during thoseyears that UAB’s Pediatrics Residency was the only place for me. Fortunately, I was chosen to stay for residency and even allowed to stay for a 4th year as Co-Chief Resident! I then joined the faculty as a hospitalist, a job I LOVE because it gives me theopportunity to work with residents and students and care for a wide range of pediatric illnesses. My non-clinical duties includesome quality improvement, including chairing the insulin safety task force and the unplanned transfers to a higher level of carecommittee, physician advocacy and input into our EMR, and teaching, of course. Helping to run the residency program has beenmy dream job since residency, and I am thrilled to be doing it now! Within the residency program, I am working on formalizing ourmentoring program and developing a well-being curriculum and support program. I owe much of my own well-being to family: myhusband, and two kidsEmail: lnassetta@peds.uab.edu
Program DirectorsJason Robert Hartig, M.D. (“J.R.”)Program Director, Combined Internal Medicine and Pediatrics ResidencyAssociate Professor of Internal Medicine and PediatricsAfter completing my undergraduate and medical school training at the University of Missouri – Kansas City, I cameto Birmingham for residency in 1996. Four years later, I joined the Departments of Medicine and Pediatrics as anAssistant Professor. Progressively over time I have assumed greater leadership roles with an intentional emphasison educational endeavors. Currently, I am the Program Director for the Med-Peds Residency Program and anAssistant Program Director for the categorical programs. Within the School of Medicine I serve as the Chair of theMedical Education Committee overseeing the curriculum for the entire undergraduate program. I work on theDean’s Council for Graduate Medical Education reviewing the ACGME-approved residency and fellowship programs at UAB. Beyond my administrative capacities described, I maintain an active clinical career precepting inthe Pediatric and Internal Medicine clinics and regularly attending on both inpatient ward services. If not spinningaway on my elliptical machine watching sports, I can likely be found ‘playing’ with one of my many remote control‘toys’ or model trains (which are clearly not toys).Email: jhartig@uab.eduErin Dunn Snyder, MD, FACPAssociate Professor of Medicine,Assistant Program Director, UAB Internal Medicine Residency ProgramMedical Director, Internal Medicine IV Clinic (Resident continuity clinic)Director, Internal Medicine Primary Care TrackI grew up here in Birmingham and ran away from Alabama to Tallahassee for undergrad training at FSU. It’strue that absence makes the heart grow fonder, because once I left, I started figuring out how to get back toBirmingham. I was able to come to UAB for medical school and have since dug in my heels- staying for Internal Medicine Residency and joining the faculty in General Internal Medicine in 2006. I am an assistant program director for the Medicine residency program, and the Medical director for the Internal Medicine IV continuity clinic at The Kirklin Clinic. I am honored and excited to help with Medicine and Pediatrics interview season. I work closely with the Med/Peds residents in the clinic, and have grown to appreciate the “personality”of this amazing group of individuals. Outside of work, I am busy spending time with my husband and twochildren (4 and 7): we might be spending time outside, playing or watching a variety of sports, or traveling.Email: edsnyder@uabmc.eduTony McGrath, M.D.Program Director, Child Neurology Residency and FellowshipAssociate Professor of Pediatric NeurologyDr. McGrath received his medical degree from the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine with additionaltraining at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
