Dr. Joseph S. Goode, Jr. is an Associate Professor and Vice-Chair for Research in the Department of Nurse Anesthesia as well as an Assistant Director of the Nurse Anesthesia Program. Dr. Goode holds BSN, MSN and PhD degrees from the University of Pittsburgh and a BA in Fine Arts and Biological Sciences from the University of Michigan. He is the Vice-Chair for Research and Scholarship with the University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing, Department of Nurse Anesthesia and a staff CRNA at UPMC Presbyterian Hospital.

Dr. Goode has presented or been published nationally and internationally in areas as diverse as anesthesia, artificial organ development, emergency medicine, health care simulation, and the history and philosophy of science and medicine. He has co-authored multiple book chapters on health care simulation and High Frequency Jet Ventilation (HFJV)and on the historical and philosophical groundings of health care simulation. He has twenty-one international presentations to his credit since 2012.

Research Areas & Scholarly Emphasis

Dr. Goode has been involved in health care simulation since 2000 and in clinical and laboratory research since 1979. He is widely known for his expertise in the clinical application of High Frequency Jet Ventilation, having trained and worked with Dr. Miroslav Klain who is considered one of the key developers of this ventilatory modality. He continues to work in this area. His current primary areas of interest in simulation include health care simulation methodologies and the use of Hierarchical Task Analysis in simulation curricular development. He is also interested in the quantitative and qualitative measurement of translation from the simulation setting to clinical practice and its impacts on patient safety, and the role of theoretical models to describe simulation processes.

Teaching

Dr. Goode teaches across the curriculum of the Nurse Anesthesia Program, with topical areas of focus including pharmacology, respiratory physiology and airway management. He instructs in most of the simulation educational activities across the Nurse Anesthesia curriculum including the Difficult Airway Management course and the Anesthesia Crisis Leadership Training course for SRNAs and Anesthesia Residents which he co-coordinates. Dr. Goode also conducts multi-modal training sessions in the application of HFJV for providers and trainees throughout the UPMC Health System including CRNAs, Anesthesiologists, SRNAs, Anesthesia Residents, Anesthesia Cardiac Fellows and Cardiothoracic Surgery Fellows.

Service

Dr. Goode serves on the Winter Institute for Simulation Education and Research (WISER) Research and Scholarship Committee and has served on the American Association for the History of Nursing Board of Directors from 2021 to 2023.

Clinical Emphasis

Dr. Goode's clinical experti8se is in Anesthesia, Clinical Applications of High Frequency Jet Ventilation, and Patient Safety.
