Amit Agarwal

Amit Agarwal, MBBS, MD is an Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) and the Medical Director of the Chronic Ventilator Program at Arkansas Children’s Hospital/UAMS College of Medicine. His work focuses on pediatric pulmonary and sleep medicine, particularly in tracheostomy care protocols, ventilator-dependent children, and high-fidelity simulation training for caregivers. He is affiliated with the Division of Pediatric Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine.

His research interests span neuroimaging applications, respiratory pathologies, and the integration of advanced technologies like AI and radiomics into clinical diagnostics. Notable projects include standardized tracheostomy care methods and the use of deep learning for medical imaging improvements.

Dr. Agarwal’s publications reflect a multidisciplinary approach, with contributions to radiology, oncology, and pediatric critical care. Recent work explores opportunities and challenges of large language models in radiology, molecular landscapes of CNS tumors, and ventilation strategies in infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia.

His clinical expertise includes managing complex respiratory cases, bone health in ventilator-dependent children, and noninvasive ventilation techniques. He actively participates in translational research and medical education initiatives, emphasizing hands-on training for nonsurgical staff through simulation-based learning.
