Erhan Ararat MD

Summary

• I am a board-certified pediatric pulmonologist with expertise in asthma, cystic fibrosis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), and complex airway disorders. I completed my pediatric pulmonology fellowship at Boston Children's Hospital and have been practicing at Arkansas Children's Hospital since 2018.
  
  Currently, I serve as the program director of the pediatric pulmonology fellowship program at the University of Arkansas Medical Sciences, where I am dedicated to training future specialists and advancing pediatric respiratory care. As the director of the asthma program, I lead initiatives focused on guideline-based management, patient education, and quality improvement to enhance outcomes and reduce hospitalizations for children with asthma. My clinical approach emphasizes personalized, evidence-based care, integrating the latest research to optimize treatment strategies.
  
  I am actively involved in asthma research and data-driven projects, ensuring high-quality data collection and analysis to improve patient care. Additionally, I am committed to addressing the national shortage of pediatric pulmonologists through mentorship, education, and program development.
  
  My professional interests include severe asthma management and medical education. I welcome opportunities for collaboration in research, education, and clinical innovation to further advance pediatric pulmonology.
