Biography
Hide

Allison A. Divanovic, MD, is an assistant professor of pediatrics with the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and is currently the co-director of Medical Student and Resident Education in the Heart Institute.

A native of Cincinnati, Dr. Divanovic has completed all of her medical training locally, starting with medical school at the University of Cincinnati. She completed both her pediatric residency and cardiology fellowship at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. In addition to her three year cardiology fellowship, she completed a fourth year of training in order to gain further expertise in fetal echocardiography, transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography, and neonatal cardiology.

Dr. Divanovic has been an attending staff member in the Heart Institute at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center since 2009. Her academic interests include identifying factors that affect outcome in the setting of fetal congenital heart disease, improving the diagnosis of coarctation and hypoplastic left heart syndrome with restrictive atrial septum prior to birth and the cost effectiveness of referrals for murmur evaluations in children. In addition, Dr. Divanovic worked with the Ohio State Legislature to help pass into law the bill which led to the requirement for pulse oximetry screening in all Ohio newborns.

Dr. Divanovic has been active in the pediatric and cardiology communities as a member of the American Heart Association, American Society of Echocardiography and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
