great teacher and pediatrician serving
as an adjunct faculty member at
Muhlenberg Hospital. The experience
changed Dr. Smolen's outlook on
medicine. Pediatrics became his pas-
sion, and he decided to do his residen-
cy and fellowship in a field that
allowed him to specialize in caring for
children.
Exploring new areas and experi-
menting with new technologies, Dr.
Smolen has extended his knowledge
and influence well beyond boundaries
he could only have imagined just five
years ago. "An already rewarding
career has become thrilling," he says.
"Connecting with my patients in
novel ways has been the experience of
a lifetime, and sharing what I have
learned in 33 years of private practice
is just awesome."
