Dr. Tatyana Strong grew up in the former Soviet Union and immigrated to the US at the age of 19. She received an undergraduate degree from the University of San Francisco. She completed all her medical training at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Dr. Strong graduated from her pediatric anesthesia fellowship in 2002 and since then has worked full time at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin. She honed her skills with challenging cases performing some of the most difficult anesthetics in the hospital during cardiac surgery cases. Dr. Strong was chosen to be a question writer for the inaugural Pediatric Anesthesia Board Certifying Examination and was among the first group to be board certified in pediatric anesthesiology. Over the last seven years Dr. Strong served as a lead for ENT and dental services. On a personal note she and her husband, also a physician, enjoy sailing, traveling, especially to warm sunny places and ballroom dancing. They have two adult children, neither of whom pursued a career in medicine. Dr Strong enjoys working with children and looks forward to joining PDAA.
