Nikhil Ranadive, MD, MS
Resident Physician
Emergency Medicine - Fresno
School of Medicine

I am a fourth year resident in the Department of Emergency Medicine at UCSF Fresno. My research focuses on the intersection of climate change, global health, and emergency care systems, particularly in LMICs. I am interested in understanding sources of vulnerability and designing adaptation measures to both reduce the risks of climate change and help build climate-resilient communities.
