Biography
Mark Levitt Batshaw, MD, is chief academic officer of Children's National Medical Center, where he also serves as director of the Children's Research Institute. He is chairman of Pediatrics and Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences.

Dr. Batshaw, a native of Montreal, Canada, completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Pennsylvania and attended medical school at the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Medicine. He completed his Residency in Pediatrics at the Hospital for Sick Children/University of Toronto in Toronto, Ontario and his Post-doctoral Fellowship in Neurodevelopmental Pediatrics was completed in Baltimore, Maryland at the Kennedy Institute of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

Trained as a developmental pediatrician, Dr. Batshaw has spent more than 30 years treating children with mental retardation and other developmental disabilities.

Known as the Dr. Spock for children with disabilities, he is the author of the textbook, Children with Disabilities, now in its 5th edition; and When Your Child has a Disability, A Complete Sourcebook of Daily and Medical Care for Parents of Children with Disabilities.

Dr. Batshaw lives in Washington, DC with his wife, Karen, an international adoption social worker. They have three adult children.
