Julia Smith-Paine is a clinical neuropsychologist in the Division of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics and Psychology at University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children’s. She is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine.
Dr. Smith-Paine is a summa cum laude graduate of Wittenberg University with a degree in psychology and English (minor in Spanish). She earned a master’s degree and a doctorate in clinical psychology, specializing in pediatric clinical neuropsychology, from the University of Cincinnati. Before beginning her doctorate program, she completed an internship in pediatric neuropsychology at the Children’s Hospital Colorado. After completing the program, she returned to Cincinnati to complete a postdoctoral fellowship in pediatric neuropsychology at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center.
Dr. Smith-Paine was named to the medical staff of UH Rainbow in 2021. Her special interests include neuropsychological assessment of the neurodevelopmental outcomes of children/adolescents with congenital heart disease, pre- and post- solid organ transplant evaluations, prematurity/low birth weight and a variety of neurological conditions like traumatic brain injury. Dr. Smith-Paine also specializes in assessing the preschool/toddler age range, as well as school-age children/adolescents for ADHD, autism spectrum disorder and learning disabilities.
Her research interests include the following: neuropsychological assessment of children with complex medical disorders (e.g., congenital heart disease, kidney disease, epilepsy, concussion/TBI, sickle cell, genetic disorders, prematurity/LBW); neurodevelopmental outcomes in children with congenital heart disease; risk and resiliency factors following traumatic brain injury; neuropsychological outcomes following kidney disease and solid organ transplant; executive functioning; and family factors affecting pediatric outcomes and development.
Industry Relationships
University Hospitals is committed to transparency in our interactions with industry partners, such as pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical device companies. At UH, we disclose practitioner and their family members’ ownership and intellectual property rights that are or in the process of being commercialized. In addition, we disclose payments to employed practitioners of $5,000 or more from companies with which the practitioners interact as part of their professional activities. These practitioner-industry relationships assist in developing new drugs, devices and therapies and in providing medical education aimed at improving quality of care and enhancing clinical outcomes. At the same time, UH understands that these relationships may create a conflict of interest. In providing this information, UH desires to assist patients in talking with their practitioners about industry relationships and how those relationships may impact their medical care.
UH practitioners seek advance approval for certain new industry relationships. In addition, practitioners report their industry relationships and activities, as well as those of their immediate family members, to the UH Office of Outside Interests annually. We review these reports and implement management plans, as appropriate, to address conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with medical research, clinical care and purchasing decisions.
