Associate Residency Program Director Assistant Professor of Pediatrics
Dr. Fussell is a native of El Dorado, in southern Arkansas. Her undergraduate training was at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, and she was a member of the UAMS College of Medicine Class of 1997. Her pediatric residency training and Developmental/Behavioral Pediatrics fellowship were at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, SC. Dr. Fussell joined UAMS faculty the summer of 2002, and shortly thereafter became the Course Director for the residents’ rotation in developmental pediatrics. She continues in that position while also serving as Associate Pediatric Residency Program Director. Interaction with residents is a primary reason for Dr. Fussell choosing a career in an academic medicine program, and the positive experiences she had as a student at UAMS were a natural draw for her to return here to practice. Dr. Fussell and her husband have two daughters, and they all continue to cheer on the LSU Tigers, even on Razorback turf.
