Pushpa Shivaram serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics (Cardiology division) at the Medical College of Georgia, Augusta University. She holds dual MBBS degrees from Bangalore Medical College (1995, 2005) and Georgia Composite Medical Board certification (2018), and directs the Pediatric Cardiology Fellowship program while teaching courses including RPED 5001, RPED 5002, and PEDS 5005.
Research Focus: Her work centers on congenital/acquired cardiac defect management through multi-modality imaging and fetal echocardiography. She develops maternal-fetal care protocols for complex cases like pulmonary atresia and Tetralogy of Fallot, emphasizing surgical strategy optimization and physiological monitoring.
Publication Trends: 2021-2022 research employs systematic reviews/meta-analyses to address critical gaps in pediatric cardiology—from fetal surgical predictors and ECG interpretation standards to pandemic-driven healthcare disparities. Her work bridges clinical practice, imaging innovation, and global health policy.
Mentorship Role: As Fellowship Program Director, she trains cardiology fellows through structured curricula integrating echocardiography, electrophysiology, and congenital heart disease management, with emphasis on translating research into bedside practice.
