Bio

Dr. Silverii is a native to the bayou region, raised in Thibodaux, LA. She remained local while earning a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from Nicholls State University. She attended medical school here at LSUHSC in New Orleans where her interest in Urology and teaching began. She takes pride in her induction to both AOA and GHHS during medical school. At graduation she was awarded the AOA George H. Karam Award in Teaching Excellence.  She then went on to complete her urology residency at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, SC where her love of education deepened. She was awarded a Golden Apple Excellence in Teaching Award (voted on by MUSC medical students) for Resident Teacher. Prior to graduation she was awarded the Thomas Alexander Kirkland Excellence in Care Award (voted on by faculty). With a love for learning, teaching, and pediatric urology, she elected to pursue fellowship in Pediatric Urology. 

Dr. Silverii completed her training with a pediatric urology fellowship at Seattle Children’s Hospital. Her fellowship research focused on development of a model for surgical coaching at Seattle Children’s Hospital. This work resulted in national and international presentations as well as publications. With her faculty mentor she served as Co-PI for an Intuitive Foundation Human Performance Research Grant (2023-2024). During her fellowship she completed additional training programs and received a Clinical Teaching Certificate with the University of Washington (2024) as well as the AAMC Medical Education Research Certificate Program (2024). Additionally, she completed formal training and serves as a Certified Surgical Coach through the Academy for Surgical Coaching (2023). Her interest in education scholarship further deepened and led to participation in the ABMS Visiting Scholar Program (2024-2025). This ABMS and ABU supported multi-institutional project is aimed at developing and evaluating an assessment rubric for robot assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty.

Dr. Silverii is so excited to return to Louisiana to care for the children of Louisiana and train the next generation of medical students and urology residents at Manning Family Children’s Hospital of New Orleans.
