Dr. Alan Quillian is a native of Washington, DC, and lives here again with his family after sampling some of the other larger cities in the US.


Before medical school, Dr. Quillian was a semi professional dancer and completed a degree in art history but elected to take his official degree as a Bachelor’s of Science in biology from Emory University. He then completed a special Masters in Physiology from Georgetown University prior to going to New York Medical College for his MD.

He trained for his internship and residency at Mattel Children’s at UCLA after which he stayed on as faculty for six years working his way up to Associate Chief of Pediatrics at Olive View UCLA.

Dr. Quillian came to the National Institutes of Health in 2017 as an inaugural member of a Pediatric Hospitalist team providing 24/7 clinical care to complex pediatric patients requiring monitoring on the inpatient Pediatric unit of the NIH Clinical Center. He continues to provide expertise as a pediatric hospitalist for the NIH Clinical Center Department of Pediatrics.

His interests include quality improvement and medical education.
