Section Retreat
2025 Section Retreat at the Arkansas 4-H Center.
Welcome from the Chief
Welcome to the Section of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and Arkansas Children’s Hospital.
The Infectious Diseases team at Arkansas Children’s provides both inpatient and outpatient services at Arkansas Children’s Hospital in Little Rock and Arkansas Children’s Northwest in Springdale. Each year, we care for hundreds of children with a wide spectrum of infectious diseases – from common conditions such as bone and joint infections in otherwise healthy kids, to complex, life-threatening infections in immunocompromised patients and children with chronic medical needs. Our team also plays a vital role in infection prevention, hospital epidemiology, antimicrobial stewardship, and occupational health.
Beyond clinical care, we are actively engaged in advancing the field through research and education. Our faculty lead and contribute to a range of clinical and translational research initiatives, including several projects funded by the NIH. Our team is also recognized for excellence in teaching, regularly earning accolades for our commitment to educating the next generation of pediatricians and physician-scientists.
Thank you for visiting us to learn more about our dedicated team. We are proud to serve children and families in Arkansas and beyond with compassion, expertise, and innovation.
