Dr. Adam Isacoff: All for the Kids
Class of 2009
Associate Medical Director,
Palm Beach Children’s Hospital,
Kentucky
It was AUA’s strong connection to New York that first drew Dr. Adam Isacoff in 2005. That, and its strong curriculum.
When he started studying there, AUA was still a young institution. He was impressed with the structured approach and small class sizes that allowed for more personalized interactions with the faculty. He also liked how AUA students engaged with the local community and hospital system.

While on campus, Dr. Isacoff developed strong friendships with his roommates and other students. He enjoyed spending time with his colleagues and the staff. The fun experiences and pranks further enriched this sense of community. Everyone was approachable, even the school’s administration. Dr. Isacoff remembers joking around with Dr. Bell and some of the students dressing like him one day.
So, how did Dr. Bell react when he walked into his office?
“He half smiled, so we knew he was slightly amused…,” Dr. Isacoff says.
Dr. Isacoff fondly remembers another AUA professor, Dr. Glasser.
“He really helped make neuroanatomy more understandable and helped with our Step 1 questions,” Dr. Isacoff says. “I’m really sad to hear that he passed… He was really influential among AUA students.”
Inspired by such mentors, Dr. Isacoff found a specialty he loved: pediatric emergency medicine.
It has led him to various roles, including a Pediatrics Residency at Saint Peter’s University Hospital and a Fellowship in Pediatric Emergency Medicine at The University of Louisville. He also served as the Section Chief of Pediatric Emergency Services at Palm Beach Children’s Hospital in West Palm Beach, Florida, from 2015 to 2020. As of 2020, he is the Associate Medical Director of the Pediatric Emergency Department at Norton Children’s Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky, and an Associate Professor of Pediatrics for The University of Louisville School of
Medicine. He has obtained his Master’s in Clinical Science Investigation and a Master’s in Business Administration from The University of Louisville.
