We discuss her work improving quality and safety in pediatric endoscopy.  Hear a brief history of pediatric endoscopy and about the Pediatric Endoscopy Quality Improvement Network (PEnQuIN) - and it's cute mascot. We also talk to Dr. Lightdale about her thoughts on why transnasal endoscopy and simulation will play important roles in the future of pediatric gastroenterology.
