 Jeanette White, M.D.
Dr. Jeanette White, part of a military family, moved to the Annapolis area just before high school. After completing Broadneck High, she left to attend Dartmouth College, where she majored in Middle English literature. She attended medical school at the Johns Hopkins University before traveling to Seattle Children’s Hospital where Dr. White completed both a residency and chief residency in pediatrics. Once again, she traveled back across country to complete a three year fellowship in Pediatric Critical Care medicine at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. At that time, Dr White also completed a PhD in Clinical Investigation – the formal study of clinical research methodology. Her academic research interests included both pediatric head trauma and medical errors in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.
After completing her fellowship, Dr. White was a critical care attending physician at Children’s Hospital in Washington DC., Walter Reed Army Medical Center, the National Institutes of Health, and later at the University of Maryland Hospital for Children, where she continues to work as a part time faculty member.
Although she loves intensive care medicine and caring for critically ill children, Dr White also enjoys the continuity and challenges of primary care pediatrics. As a mother of two “busy” boys, Dr. White appreciates the joys and the struggles of raising kids and derives a great deal of satisfaction from helping others raise happy and healthy children.
When not working in Annapolis or Baltimore, Dr. White continues to perform clinical research. Otherwise, she is home running around with her two sons, traveling with her husband, baking bread, or trying to coax vegetation other than weeds from her vegetable garden.
