He will also continue to serve as division chief of both Radiology Informatics and Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Weinberger is a professor of radiology and of neurosurgery at the University of Washington School of Medicine (UWSOM).
“Ed has demonstrated outstanding leadership in his previous roles at Children’s,” says Dr. David Fisher, senior vice president and medical director at Children’s. “I have complete confidence that he will provide instrumental guidance to his department in its quest to provide timely access and highly effective diagnostic and therapeutic services to children and families.”
After obtaining his medical degree from Harvard Medical School in Boston, Weinberger completed a pediatric residency at UWSOM and Children’s. He also did his fellowship in pediatric radiology at Children’s. He has been a member of the medical staff since 1986.
Dr. Eric Effmann, who served as department director since 1991, will continue as an attending physician in the Radiology Department and as the division head of General Diagnosis. A celebration of Effmann’s contributions to Children’s will be held on July 7 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Small Dining Rooms in the Sound Cafe at Children’s.
