BIO
Dr. Edward McCabe has been the Assistant Director of Adolescent Medicine at Staten Island University Hospital for the past 25+ years and, along with his Director Dr. April Lee, has helped to establish Staten Island University Hospital' Division of Adolescent Medicine into a cornerstone of their Pediatric Residency training program. Along the way, Dr. McCabe has obtained Board Certification in Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine and he has earned the Master in Public Health degree. In his role as Assistant Director of Adolescent Medicine he divides his time as follows: approximately 70 % for Clinical Services and Trainee Supervision; 20% for Administration; 5% for Didactic Services; and, 5% for Research-related Activities.
While at Staten Island University Hospital Dr. McCabe has been the Principal or Co-Principal Investigator for 5 large, multi-year clinical grant-funded programs and these programs have allowed the Division of Adolescent Medicine to build a multidisciplinary (administrators, health educators, mental health providers, mid-level providers and physicians) team of 25 adolescent-centered providers. In 1992 Dr McCabe was instrumental in bringing New York State comprehensive family planning and reproductive health funding to Staten Island for the first time ever; that program is still active and responsible for providing barrier- and financially-free reproductive health care to women and young men across Staten Island that require this care without the ability to pay for this care.
In addition to the above-referenced opportunities Dr. McCabe has been afforded during his tenure at Staten Island University Hospital, he has also had the privilege to serve in leadership roles on the Boards of the AIDS & Adolescents Network of New York and the Staten Island Teen Pregnancy Network. Dr. McCabe' most significant contribution to adolescent health and well-being may well be the time he spent as Co-Chair of the New York City Department of Education' HIV/AIDS Advisory Council, the body that was responsible for developing the comprehensive and standard-setting HIV/AIDS Curriculum for Grades K – 12, which included the introduction of condom availability into our Nation' largest school system. He is also proud to have authored a critically acclaimed Op-Ed piece on this issue for the New York Times. (see curriculum vitae above for cite). Working with these groups was a perfect complement to Dr. McCabe' clinical practice of adolescent medicine and those experiences were formative in his ability to become a strong and credible advocate for the health and well-being of adolescents and young adults locally and beyond.
The awards and honors Dr. McCabe has received best represent the professional he continues to aspire to be: The Reilly Award for Humanistic Medicine (awarded at Hospital-wide residency graduation ceremony); The Michael Carrera Award for Advocacy and Public Service (awarded at Hunter Graduate School of Public Health) and The Raymond Jacobs (AANNY) Award for Personal Contribution to the AIDS & Adolescents Network of NY.
Dr. McCabe received his Bachelor of Science from Fordham University (Bronx, NY), his Doctor of Osteopathy from the University of Osteopathic Medicine and Health Sciences (Des Moines, IA) and his Master of Public Health from Hunter College (New York, NY).
Dr. McCabe is extremely proud of what he has been able to accomplish throughout his career in Adolescent Medicine and he is grateful for the opportunities he has been given to do so.
