Delene Musielak, MD, FACP, FAAP
Associate Program Director

As a dual-boarded Internist and Pediatrician, Dr. Musielak will be able to bring a different perspective of medicine, especially for patients where the disease processes cross over from children to adults (cystic fibrosis, congenital heart diseases, etc.). With the advances in medicine, these patients are living longer and the transition from a Pediatrician to an Internist is crucial. Dr. Musielak earned her Bachelor of Science degree at Stony Brook University in New York and her Doctor of Medicine degree at Ross University School of Medicine. She then completed her four year combined Internal Medicine and Pediatrics residency training at the University of Missouri – Columbia.
