USA Health welcomes new pediatric radiologist
A graduate of the USA College of Medicine, Michael Francavilla, M.D., said he chose pediatric radiology because “the patients are the most vulnerable and yet the most resilient.”
Michael Francavilla, M.D., recently joined USA Health as a pediatric radiologist and serves as an associate professor of radiology at USA College of Medicine.
He received his medical degree and completed an internal medicine internship at the USA College of Medicine. After his diagnostic radiology residency at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach, Florida, he completed a pediatric radiology fellowship at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
“I chose pediatric radiology because the patients are the most vulnerable and yet the most resilient,” Francavilla said. “I focus on reducing radiation whenever possible to decrease their exposure.”
He has published more than 30 research papers and is a contributing author to “Pediatric Urogenital Radiology and Radiology Secrets Plus, 4th Edition.” He also is a reviewer for the Pediatric Imaging Section of the Editorial Advisory Board of Applied Radiology.
Francavilla is a member of the American Medical Association, the American College of Radiology, the Radiological Society of North America, the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine and the Society for Pediatric Radiology.
