Section of Adolescent Medicine

From the Section Chief


Welcome to the Section of Adolescent Medicine at University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and Arkansas Children’s Hospital! Thank you for visiting our site today.

I am Dr. Kelly Curran, Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Section Chief of Adolescent Medicine. I joined UAMS and Arkansas Children’s Hospital in 2022.  I am incredibly fortunate to have amazing colleagues, who are passionate and dedicated to improving the health of teens. Our team includes board-certified Adolescent Medicine physicians and a nurse practitioner, who have years of experience caring for adolescents.  We have re-envisioned the section, and we are working to grow our faculty and further develop our clinical, education and research missions to improve adolescent health.
