After a New England upbringing, Dr. Brian Good came to Salt Lake City in 2000 after graduating from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. He was drawn to the University of Utah by its academic reputation, the intelligent and friendly demeanor of the physicians, and the amazing outdoor environment. He completed pediatric residency and became board certified in pediatrics in 2003. After five years in private practice at Families First Pediatrics, Brian returned to the University of Utah to increase his involvement in academic medicine and global health. Currently Brian spends most of the year in the Division of Pediatric Hospital Medicine at Primary Children’s Hospital while still volunteering with Concern America, a non-profit organization based in Los Angeles.

Brian’s primary interests are providing high-quality care for hospitalized children and fostering excellent medical education. His primary clinical outlet is working alongside residents in caring for ill children at Primary Children’s Hospital. In 2012, he became the Pediatric Clerkship and 4th Year Medical Student Director. In these roles, he designs curricula and teaches many pediatric topics in the medical student curriculum and mentors students interested in a career in pediatrics. He is specifically drawn to and challenged by teaching other healthcare providers about the current state of health care globally and within the United States.

As a medical volunteer, Brian currently spends time in rural Colombia or Guatemala teaching medicine to layperson health promoters. The ultimate goal is to improve the health in communities geographically distant from the current health system in their own countries. Brian’s personal goal is to merge his careers and bring residents or medical students with him to experience alternative forms of feasible health care.

Nationally, Brian has been actively involved in two innovative educational projects. He helped adapt and locally implement the successful IPASS resident handoff curriculum for medical students. Continuing this work on using communication to improve patient safety, he was Utah’s site co-PI for the IPASS Patient and Family-Centered Rounding Project. Our team helped design and implement a hospital rounding model that integrated families and nurses to improve safety, team communication and increase patient and family involvement. Additionally, Brian worked with a national team to design and implement the innovative educational model, Education in Pediatrics Across the Continuum (EPAC). Sponsored by the AAMC and the Macy Foundation, this novel program aims to advance students based on their competency in Entrustable Professional Activities and not rely on time as a measure of ability. This creative outcome-based model could provide insight into the future of medical education.
