Biography Dr. Adhikari came to Children's Medical Center and UT Southwestern Medical Center in 2001 to complete his residency in Pediatrics. Prior to that he completed his undergraduate education at the University of Florida where he was recognized as one of four "Four Year Scholars" for the Fall graduating class of 1996. From there he went on to medical school at the University of Miami (FL). At the conclusion of his residency he was awarded the "White Hat" award, as elected by vote of his fellow 3rd year residents when asked to select the colleague they would most want as their own child's pediatrician. After his residency he stayed at UT Southwestern (UTSW) to complete a fellowship in Pediatric Endocrinology. Upon completion of his fellowship, he joined the faculty at UTSW, as an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics. In 2008, he assumed the position of the Director of the Pediatrics Clerkship, in addition to his clinical responsibilities. In 2017 he assumed responsibility as the Medical Director of the Endocrinology Clinic at Children’s Health. That same year he became one of the medical directors at Camp Sweeney, one of the largest camps for children with type 1 diabetes in the nation. He was the medical lead behind the development of the “Diabetes Advisor” mobile decision support tool for children and families with type 1 diabetes, which in 2019 received recognition from the Diabetes Technology Society as the “App of the Year” at the 2019 Digital Diabetes Congress (in the category of New Apps).
