He is a practicing hospitalist at Primary Children’s Medical Center in Salt Lake City and is a Fellow of the Institute of Health Care Delivery Research at Intermountain Health Care where he is working on how to measure and improve inpatient quality of care for children.

Dr. Srivastava attended the University of Toronto Medical School and trained at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto where he was an Associate Chief Resident.
