He received his medical degree and completed an internal medicine internship at USA College of Medicine. After his diagnostic radiology residency at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach, Florida, he completed a pediatric radiology fellowship at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
“I chose pediatric radiology because the patients are the most vulnerable and yet the most resilient,” Francavilla said. “I focus on reducing radiation whenever possible to decrease their exposure.”
He has published more than 30 research papers and is a contributing author to "Pediatric Urogenital Radiology and Radiology Secrets Plus, 4th Edition." He also is a reviewer for the Pediatric Imaging Section of the Editorial Advisory Board of Applied Radiology.
