Dr. Graham graduated from Vanderbilt University Medical School in 1992. He completed residency in Pediatrics at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and fellowship training in Pediatric Rheumatology at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC). He remained on faculty at CCHMC and was promoted to Clinical Director. He left CCHMC to become Division Director of Pediatric Rheumatology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in 2008. Under his direction, the division has grown to include five physicians, one nurse practitioner, and trainees. This growth has enabled expansion to serve areas in the state and region which do not have a pediatric rheumatologist. He received the Amos Christie Award for Resident Teaching in 2012.
