She is currently the Director of the Neuromuscular program and Co-Director of the Neurogenetics program at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. Formerly she served as the president of the Professors and Educators of Child Neurology.[2] In 2024, she received the Child Neurology Society National Training Director Award.[3]

Early life and education

[edit]

Bass grew up in Illinois, and attended Niles North High School, where she played in the orchestra and was in the National Honor Society.[4] She did her undergraduate studies at the University of Illinois, where she was in a pre-vet program. After an allergic reaction to cats, she went to Southern Illinois University School of Medicine for medical school, and remained there for residency in pediatrics. She went to Cleveland Clinic for additional training in child neurology.[3]

Career

[edit]

Bass took her first faculty position at UCSF, where she worked in the Neurometabolic Clinic and was Clinical Director of the Batten Disease Clinic. In 1999 she took a position at Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital of Cleveland Clinic.[5]

At Cleveland Clinic, Bass revived the quiescent pediatric neurology residency program, and became interested in the development of medical education through mentorship, sponsorship and flexibility.[3]

In 2022, Bass left to become the director of the child neurology residency and director of child neurology education at Children's Wisconsin in Milwaukee. In 2023 she became the Bleser Family Endowed Chair for Neurology Education.[3]

She was president of Professors and Educators of Child Neurology (PECN).[3]

She has published on epilepsies, mitochondrial disorders, neuroinflammation and neuromuscular disorders, as well as diversity, education[6] and technology.[7]
