Thomas Jefferson University / Nemours Children's Hospital, Delaware
Andrew Fisher, MD, is the current chief resident in the combined Pediatrics and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation residency program at Nemours Children’s Hospital, Delaware and Thomas Jefferson University. Prior to residency, he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Biology at Vanderbilt University and completed medical school at Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University. As chief resident, he is actively involved in resident education, recruitment, mentorship, advocacy, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Dr. Fisher’s academic interests include injury prevention and the role of physiatrists in addressing upstream determinants of pediatric injury and acquired disability. His work emphasizes how automobile-centered infrastructure including high-speed roadways, unsafe street design, and limited pedestrian and cycling protections contributes to pediatric traumatic brain injury and health inequities. Dr. Fisher plans to pursue a career in academic pediatric rehabilitation medicine with a focus on advocacy, prevention, and systems-level approaches to improving outcomes for all children.
