To better meet the healthcare needs of children, April P. Consevage, M.D., recently joined Children’s & Women’s Hospital as a pediatric neurologist, further strengthening the academic health system’s commitment to providing specialized neurological care for pediatric patients across the Gulf Coast region.
Consevage completed a five-year residency in child neurology at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, where she also served as education chief resident. She earned her medical degree from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville.
An assistant professor of pediatrics at the Frederick P. Whiddon College of Medicine at the University of South Alabama, she sees patients at Children’s & Women’s Hospital.
During her medical training, Consevage was recognized for her excellence and dedication to patient care and research. She received the American Academy of Neurology Medical Student Prize for Excellence in 2020 and the Richard and Nancy Guerrant Scholars Award from the UVA Center for Global Health in 2017 for her work supporting maternal and child health initiatives abroad.
An active member of the Child Neurology Society, the American Academy of Neurology, and the Pediatric Neurocritical Care Research Group, Consevage brings a strong background in medical education and pediatric neurological care to USA Health. Her clinical interests include resident education and improving outcomes for children with complex neurological and neurocritical conditions.
In addition to her medical training, Consevage has participated in community engagement and educational initiatives, including the Residents in Schools Initiative, which connects physicians-in-training with local students to promote health and science education.
“Dr. Consevage’s expertise in child neurology and her passion for medical education will make her an invaluable addition to our pediatric team,” said Benjamin Estrada, M.D., FAAP, FPIDS, assistant dean for medical education at the Whiddon College of Medicine, and professor and interim chair of pediatrics at USA Health. “Her arrival strengthens our ability to provide the most advanced and compassionate neurological care to children and families throughout the region.”
