In 2006, Dr. Etheridge became vice president of the Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndromes Foundation (SADS) whose mission is to increase awareness of the cardiac channelopathies and provide support for families affected by such heritable arrhythmia syndromes, particularly long QT syndrome.
   
   After graduating from Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois, she received an M.D. from Rush University Medical School. From there she moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota and completed a pediatric residency at the University of Minnesota. She also completed her pediatric cardiology fellowship and electrophysiology fellowship at the University of Minnesota. She then moved to Utah and joined the faculty at the University of Utah. Soon after arriving in Utah it became clear that LQTS was an important problem in the local population. and something she needed to know and care about. She contacted Dr Michael Vincent and gained from his vast experience in the evaluation and management of these patients. Her research has focused in part on the recognition and management of LQTS in children and young adults. She has had the good fortune to have a rewarding working relationship with Dr. Vincent and also Dr. Martin Tristani whose knowledge and insight on the function of the potassium channels has helped her expand her understanding of LQTS and the other channelopathies.
   
   Dr. Etheridge enjoys the many activities available in Utah including hiking, skiing and biking.
