Brief Intro

After training, Dr. Plotnick joined the faculty of the Department of Pediatrics at Hopkins in the division of Pediatric Endocrinology. She became a full professor in 2000. She has served as clinical director of the division for many years, and as interim division director twice. Her major clinical interests are in type 1 diabetes and growth. She has authored and co-authored many papers and chapters on these and other pediatric endocrine topics. She was chosen to be one of a few pediatric diabetes specialists to write pediatric standards of care for the American Diabetes Association. She has participated in numerous clinical trials over the last 3 decades primarily in the areas of growth and growth hormone. Deeply devoted to patients and families, she and her colleagues and nurses have organized, and manage and operate a highly sought-after and ever-expanding clinical program. Dr. Plotnick has served on many department, university and hospital committees throughout her Hopkins career, and has chaired several. Since 2000, she has organized and managed a successful CME course with the goal of teaching pediatric endocrinology to primary care providers.
