Dr. Ozen is the Director of Neonatal Simulation Education. She has established a NICU Fellow Simulation Program at JHU which runs quarterly, implemented Chest Tube Skills Segment and Neonatal Exchange Transfusion Skills Segment for continuing education of Neonatal Fellows and Providers. At a National level, Dr. Ozen works actively in Simulation Program Development. Dr. Ozen is a member of the National Neonatal Boot Camp Curriculum Development Committee for Neonatal Simulation. Dr. Ozen serves as an author and a reviewer for the Organization of Neonatal-Perinatal Training Program Directors (ONTPD) National Neonatology Curriculum’s (NNC) Simulation Curriculum Project. Additionally, Dr. Ozen is an Editor for American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) ONTPD Neonatology Flipped Classroom, Neonatal Neurology Section. Dr. Ozen is a member of the Fellowship Committee for The American Society for Reproductive Immunology.
