Research Overview

Dr. Georgette is interested in improving the screening and triage tools for children presenting with trauma or infectious symptoms. His overall goal is to more quickly and accurately identify children in need for time-sensitive, life-saving intervention. He is particularly focused on simple tools that can be applied around the world.

Research Background

Dr. Georgette obtained a bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematics and an MD from Harvard University. He completed a combined residency in Internal Medicine - Pediatrics at the University of Chicago Hospitals, then did his fellowship in Pediatric Emergency Medicine at Boston Children's Hospital before joining the faculty there in 2024.
