Pediatrician Dr. Pamela Udomprasert has joined Gifford Medical Center’s Randolph pediatric practice full-time.
Born in New York, Dr. Udomprasert grew up in New Jersey and also spent time in her parents’ native country of Thailand. Dr. Udomprasert went on to attend Williams College in Williamstown, Mass., studying music and then did some postgraduate study in biochemistery at Columbia University in New York City.
She was living in New York and working at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center as a physician’s office assistant when she decided medicine was for her. “Observing physician/patient relationships and seeing how fulfilling that can be made me want to pursue medicine, that and the intellectual challenge,” Dr. Udomprasert said.
She went on to attend medical school at SUNY Downstate College of Medicine in Brooklyn and then a three-year residency at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine and Connecticut Children’s Medical Center in Hartford, Conn.
She’s since worked at Alliance Medical Group in Middlebury, Conn., as a pediatrician and at Connecticut Children’s Medical Center at St. Mary’s Hospital and at Waterbury Hospital, all in Waterbury, Conn., as an attending physician seeing hospitalized children and newborns.
She was also an advising physician to the Bolshoi Ballet Academy at the prestigious Westover School in Middlebury, Conn.
