Eleanor Sharp, MD
- Fellow, PGY-2
Eleanor Sharp started her fellowship in Pediatric Hospital Medicine following completion of her residency in pediatrics at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh in 2020. She graduated Summa Cum Laude with Highest Honors with degrees in Biology and Psychology from the University of Georgia Honors program in 2013 before completing medical school at the University of Virginia, where she was inducted into Alpha Omega Alpha honor society.
Her interests include transitions of care in critically ill patients, gender equity in academic medicine, and medical education, and she is currently pursuing a Master of Science in Medical Education from the University of Pittsburgh’s Institute for Clinical Research Education. She has published articles on complications of hyperglycemia in pediatric cancer patients, trainee and faculty attitudes on the COVID-19 pandemic, and virtual teaching best practices, in addition to multiple case reports.
Current areas of research include improving transitions of care for critically ill children, characterizing readmissions to the pediatric intensive care unit, enhancing the pediatric resident educational experience on night float rotations, and describing resident and fellow experiences with pregnancy, childcare, and parenting during medical training.
