Cincinnati Children’s on Friday named Andrew Trout, MD, as its new radiologist in chief, effective Oct. 20.
He’ll lead the institution’s Department of Radiology while also serving as a member of the health system’s in-chiefs leadership group. Trout first joined Cincinnati Children’s in 2014 and most recently served as associate chief of faculty development and director of clinical research in radiology.

His experience and vision will help Cincinnati Children’s thrive in a changing healthcare environment, ensuring our continued leadership in pediatric medicine and innovation.”

In this role, he helped lead one of the “nation’s most clinically busy nuclear medicine sections,” modernizing protocols, selecting equipment and managing operations. Trout also established operational process for research across the department, guided early clinical trials and secured federal funding.
He received his bachelor’s in biology from Carleton College and MD from the Mayo Medical School, both in Minnesota. Trout completed his diagnostic radiology residency at the University of Michigan in 2011, also finishing a fellowship in pediatric radiology at Cincinnati Children’s in 2012.
