Healthcare Providers

The University of Florida Department of Pediatrics’ General Pediatrics Division is proud to include some of the nation’s top pediatrician-researchers on its list of faculty members. The pediatrician that treats your child is very likely a national leader in his or her field, for the areas of general pediatrics, medical education, educational technology, health services, and/or social media and communication. Most have published their work in scholarly journals and contributed to national and global health initiatives that benefit children.
