Biography

Jillian Theobald, MD PhD, received a bachelor's of arts from Carthage College where she majored in physics and minored in math and biology. In 2008 she obtained her Doctorate in Cell Biology and Anatomy exploring the intrinsic regulation of gene expression in developmental biology, specifically myogenesis, and in 2010 her medical degree from Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science. She went on to an emergency medicine residency at University of Illinois Hospital and Health Sciences System ending in 2013. Subsequently, she completed a medical toxicology fellowship at the Toxikon Consortium (Cook County Hospital, Illinois Poison Center and University of Illinois Hospital) in Chicago. Dr. Theobald has authored multiple chapters in Emergency Medicine textbooks and continues to engage in research that explores the validity of historical management paradigms of toxicological exposures, determines the variables surrounding opioid overdose deaths, and assesses the quality improvement processes of poison center operations.

She is the Quality Assurance director at the Wisconsin Poison Center and has implemented multiple quality improvement projects aimed at improving accuracy and care delivery. Dr. Theobald is also the Co-Medical Director of the Adult Translational Research Unit at the Clinical & Translational Science Institute of Southwest Wisconsin. The Adult Translational Research Unit provides infrastructural support for clinical and translational research projects by providing access to space, resources and the expertise of research support personnel.
