Vivek Prasad, MD - PGY 3
 

Vivek is an eager TB resident looking fwd to the rich training that incorporates the best aspects of pediatrics, psychiatry and child psychiatry. Riley is a specialized childrens hospital that attracts many complex cases -- uncommon congenital heart defects to even mercury poisoning! On his time off from work, he's running while listening to his iPod, getting into car accidents (don't ask), and enjoying his new puppy. After having spent a bit more than two years in Indy, he is still surprised by the events that this convention city offers. Summer is the best time of the year, with parades, cultural festivals (Irish, Italian, Indian, Middle Eastern to name a few), free concerts by the canal and even outdoor movies under the starry sky. If you have any questions, drop him an email at viprasad@iupui.edu.
