About Dr. Fussell

Clinical Biography

In 2002, Jill Fussell, M.D., accepted an appointment in the UAMS College of Medicine as a clinical instructor of pediatrics in the Section of Developmental Pediatrics and Habilitative Medicine. She was promoted to assistant professor in 2003, to associate professor with tenure in 2008 and promoted to professor in 2017. She served as associate program director of the UAMS Pediatrics Residency from 2004 to 2008. She assumed the role of director of the Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics Fellowship in 2007. She became the chief of the Developmental Pediatrics and Habilitative Medicine Section in 2018.

She has also served in multiple national leadership roles within developmental behavioral pediatrics, including as an elected member of the Society for Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics board from 2017 to 2020. She was also elected to the executive committee of the National Council of Pediatric Subspecialties in 2016, and appointed as the chair in 2020.

Dr. Fussell enjoys the multidisciplinary practice that is integral to developmental pediatrics, collaborating with other disciplines to provide evidence-based diagnostic evaluations, and supporting families through systems of care. She intends to engage with families, at whatever phase they are along the continuum of understanding their child’s individual strengths and struggles, to move forward as a team in pursuing the most optimal outcomes their child can achieve.

    Everyone was so warm and friendly. Our family really appreciated it as we were nervous about our child's evaluation. The man who took our temperature before entering the building, desk staff, nurse Ebony, Dr. Fussell, Dr. Pulliam, Tammy, and student intern Emily - they were all wonderful. Thank you!

    They were very nice and had lots of information for me. Made me feel good about getting my child more help and I have answers I been looking for. I appreciate everyone that worked to find out what my child needed.
