Name: Gaurav Agrawal
Home Town: Mobile, Alabama
When I study medicine, I most enjoying learning about: Neonatology, PICU, and GI.
Things that make me unique are: I have zip-lined through the cloud forest in Costa Rica and snowmobiled on an active volcano in Iceland! I also have a cat named Monkey!
I’m not only a doctor, I also like to: enjoy nature, go on hikes with friends, and travel/experience new cultures/places.
To get myself motivated I think of my family/friends who have been instrumental in my journey through various obstacles.
Favorites
Books: The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini (I have it autographed!). I also love mystery/thriller/mythology novels.
Movies: Avid Bollywood fan, Despicable Me, The Incredibles, Coco, (the list is endless!). Will watch anything with friends!
TV Show: Ted Lasso, Parks & Rec, Scrubs, Chuck, Shark Tank, Ozark (the list is endless!)
Music: I listen to anything really, free-spirited and going with the flow. Love some good karaoke songs!
I chose the UAMS Pediatrics Residency Program because it’s wonderful and stimulates a warm, cozy learning environment from interacting with various staff members and opportunities for engaging in medical education. My pediatric mentors speak very highly of the program and I am ecstatic to follow in their footsteps.
