Fellow
UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
My name is Megana Dwarakanath, and I am a current second year fellow at UPMC in adolescent medicine. I completed my MD at Rutgers NJMS, residency in New Mexico at UNM, and received an M.Ed at HGSE through the Zuckerman Fellowship. I have been interested in SUD since medical school and particularly its intersection with social justice issues, though my first experience managing patients on suboxone was in my residency clinic--a unique medical home for young people who have left the juvenile justice system. That experience--caring for patients longitudinally, addressing their comprehensive needs, and witnessing them succeed was instrumental in inspiring me to continue this work long term.
I do not have any relevant financial / non-financial relationships with any proprietary interests.
