Background

Tyler Bradley-Hewitt, MD, received his Bachelor of Arts in Science and Management, Biotechnology Sequence from Claremont Mckenna College and subsequently his Doctor of Medicine from George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences.

Dr. Bradley-Hewitt completed his Pediatric Internship and Residency at Children’s National Health System and his Pediatric Cardiology Fellowship from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He is interested in pursuing a critical care fellowship.

Dr. Bradley-Hewitt has been Co-investigator on three different projects at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital, Michigan.  The projects were: Risk assessment of short term pre-operative exposure to fine particulate matter on post-operative clinical outcomes in the pediatric CICU; Intrapericardial teratoma: a single center experience; and Impact of early postoperative diastolic dysfunction on intensive care outcomes in contemporary congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries repair.

Professionally, he also has published on many topics but was the lead author on two articles: The Impact of Echocardiographic Screening for Rheumatic Disease on Patient Quality of Life and Trends and presentation patterns of acute rheumatic fever hospitalizations in the United States.

He also enjoys volunteering and has participated in health and wellness in the local school system; mentorship programs in the schools for healthy nutrition and exercise and has volunteered in underserved DC communities.
