John Arnold, M.D.

Bio

Dr. John Arnold is a pediatric infectious diseases physician at Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego and a associate professor of pediatrics at UC San Diego School of Medicine.

Dr. Arnold graduated magna cum laude from the University of Redlands (Redlands, Calif), where he played basketball and received recognition as NCAA Division III, West Coast Academic All-American (Honorable Mention). He was commissioned in the U.S. Navy at the rank of ensign and earned his medical degree from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Md. Dr. Arnold then completed his pediatric residency training at the Naval Medical Center, San Diego, followed by a pediatric infectious diseases fellowship at Rady Children's Hospital. He then returned to NMCSD, where he was a staff physician in pediatric hospital medicine and pediatric infectious diseases.

Dr. Arnold's research background is very diverse. During his fellowship, he specialized in molecular diagnostics of respiratory viruses, publishing several manuscripts in that field. As a junior staff at NMCSD, he worked "on the bench" in collaboration with the Naval Health Research Center performing traditional virology cell cultures and serologic assays and publishing several articles on adenovirus serotype 36, which is associated with obesity. Subsequently, he was appointed as the study's principal investigator of a five-site Department of Defense study on influenza and influenza-like-illness, which has generated a number of manuscripts as well.

Among Dr. Arnold's leadership experiences, he served as chair of the research institutional review board at NMCSD, which has oversight of over 250 studies being conducted in all naval hospitals throughout the Pacific Rim, along with serving as associate program director for pediatrics at NMCSD at that same time. He was then appointed as chair of the department of pediatrics for three years and was responsible for the delivery of care at a busy clinic, NICU, PICU and inpatient ward. Finally, he was selected by the surgeon general of the Navy to serve as consultant to the Navy surgeon general for pediatrics, during which time he was responsible for the professional development and duty station assignment of 120 navy pediatricians, as well as management and recommendations on policy and delivery of pediatric care at 16 naval hospitals (including three medical center/residency training programs).

Retiring from the Navy after 27 years, Dr. Arnold brings his wide-reaching clinical, research and leadership experiences to Rady Children's.
