Stephanie DeCarvalho, DO

  • Resident, PGY-4

I came into residency thinking I wanted to pursue general child neurology. I have narrowed my interests to genetics and epilepsy. I am interested in how neurodevelopment is impacted by both genetics and epilepsy. I am also interested in advocacy and exploring ways to address the gap in transition of care for patients with neurodevelopmental differences. 

Hometown: East Providence, Rhode Island 

Hobbies: Running, f45 workouts, exploring new walking trails, Portuguese cultural events, exploring new restaurants with my husband, Joe.
