OverviewAI-generated summary
Tamara Perry, M.D., is a Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) and serves as the Chief of Allergy and Immunology at Arkansas Children’s Hospital. She also holds the position of Medical Director of Telemedicine for the Arkansas Children’s Hospital System. Dr. Perry earned her M.D. from UAMS and completed her residency in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics at UAMS and Arkansas Children’s Hospital. Her fellowship training in Allergy and Immunology was completed at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Dr. Perry's clinical practice focuses on the management of allergic and immunologic conditions in children, including asthma, food allergies, atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, and primary immunodeficiency. Her research interests are directed toward improving health outcomes for children in rural and underserved communities. She has published extensively on food allergy, particularly concerning oral immunotherapy for peanut allergy, investigating its clinical efficacy, immune regulation, and sustained unresponsiveness. Her work also examines the relationship between allergen-specific IgE levels and oral food challenge outcomes, as well as adverse reactions during home dosing of oral immunotherapy.
