Career Trajectory
Bio
Karen L. Skjei, M.D. was inspired to pursue a career in medicine after witnessing the impact of a lack of access to medical care during her 2 years in the U.S. Peace Corps in the Dominican Republic. She attended medical school at the University of California, San Francisco, followed by a pediatric neurology residency at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. She then did a 2-year fellowship in Clinical Neurophysiology/Epilepsy at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. She is active in health disparities research and founded/leads the Health Equity Committee of the Pediatric Epilepsy Research Consortium.
After serving in academic leadership positions for 10 years, she chose to combat health disparities directly by setting up the first pediatric epilepsy practice in El Paso, Texas, a city of 850,000 with a single pediatric neurologist.
Internationally she has given lectures in English and Spanish on myriad pediatric epilepsy topics at regional education conferences organized by the International Child Neurology Association (ICNA), the American Epilepsy Society (AES) and the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) in locations as diverse as Ecuador, Paraguay, India and the Sudan. She has been editor of the ICNA Journal Watch since its inception in 2019 and now serves as editor of the Journal Watch section of the Journal of the International Child Neurology Association.
Dr. Skjei is a fellow of the AES and has published more than a dozen peer-reviewed articles and book chapters. She’s won several major awards throughout her career including the UCSF Chancellor’s Award for Public Service, the Mayo Brother’s Distinguished Fellows Award at Mayo, and the Tower Award for Outstanding Faculty at the University of Texas-Austin. She founded the Epilepsy Fellowship at the University of Texas and has garnered several teaching awards. Furthermore, she has inspired many trainees to pursue pediatric neurology and pediatric epilepsy and continues to mentor trainee from the undergraduate level through fellowship.
