Professor of Pediatrics, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health; Clinical Professor of Human Development and Family Studies, School of Human Ecology, UW-Madison, Madison, Wisconsin

Dr. Dipesh Navsaria is a pediatrician working in the public interest. He blends the roles of physician, occasional children's librarian, educator, public health professional, and child health advocate. With graduate degrees in public health, children's librarianship, physician assistant studies, and medicine, he brings a unique combination of interests and experience together.

Committed to understanding how basic science can translate into busy primary-care settings via population health concepts and policy initiatives, Dr. Navsaria aims to educate the next generation of those who work with children and families in realizing how their professional roles include being involved in larger concepts of social policy and how they may affect the cognitive and socioemotional development of children for their future benefit.
