Dr. Anita K. Patel, MD, is a double board-certified pediatrician and pediatric critical care physician, who most recently served as an Attending Physician at Children’s National Medical Center and as Associate Professor of Pediatrics at George Washington University School of Medicine & Health Sciences. Over her career, she combined front-line clinical care of critically ill children with rigorous research —including NIH-funded work using big data and AI-driven predictive analytics to study severity of illness, sedation, and delirium management in pediatric patients. Dr. Patel has dedicated herself to translating complex medical science into practical, evidence-based guidance for families, leveraging both her deep clinical expertise and her passion for improving pediatric health outcomes. Her background —blending critical care, research, and family-centered communication —would bring a valuable, informed, and compassionate perspective to our board as we continue our mission.
