School of Medicine

Associate Clinical Professor - Volunteer, UCSF

Dr. Upadhyay's residency training was completed at The New York University School of Medicine and she completed fellowship training at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine.

Prior to joining the UCSF Fresno faculty, Dr. Upadhyay served as Assistant Professor of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Stanford University. As a member of Stanford’s faculty, Dr. Upadhyay was involved in translational research, the teaching of pulmonary fellows and served as an active member of Stanford’s Lung Nodule Program and Asthma Clinic.

As a faculty member of the UCSF Fresno Medical Education Program, Dr. Upadhyay brings her extensive experience and training to the Central Valley.
