Dr. Thomas Doyle is the Ann and Monroe Carell Professor of Pediatrics, and Clinical Director of the Division of Pediatric Cardiology at the Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. Dr. Doyle graduated from the University of Arizona School of Medicine in 1987.  He completed his Pediatric Residency at the University of Maryland in 1990, and then stayed an additional year at the University of Maryland to act as Chief Resident.  It was during his residency that he developed a passion for pediatric cardiology.  This interest led to a Pediatric Cardiology Fellowship training at Yale University.  Upon completion of his pediatric cardiology training, Dr. Doyle accepted a position as an interventional cardiologist at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.  He was the first trained pediatric interventional cardiologist in the state of Tennessee and introduced numerous new techniques to the State including percutaneous PDA closure, vascular stent implantation, and device closure of atrial and ventricular septal defects.  Over the subsequent 30 years, Dr. Doyle, along with his partners Dr. Nicholson and Dr. Janssen, have built the largest pediatric interventional cardiology program in the state. Dr. Doyle’s research interest lies in the design and development of novel devices to improve the care of children with congenital heart disease.
