Dr. Agresta earned his MD from New Jersey Medical School and a Master’s in Biomedical Informatics from Oregon Health Sciences University. He completed his Family Medicine Residency at UConn/Saint Francis Hospital Residency Program. His interest in health information technology (HIT) led to several grants that incorporated HIT into the current medical school and residency curriculum.
He has helped develop a new subspecialty in medicine – Clinical Informatics - and was one of the first individuals board certified in that specialty. He has been active at the regional and national levels in promoting the innovative and optimal use of HIT in clinical care – especially Primary Care. He practices and teaches at Asylum Hill Family Medicine and works to improve the Electronic Health Record for clinical care, research and quality improvement purposes. He actively works on education, outreach and research projects with faculty and students from the schools of medicine, dental medicine, computer science and engineering, pharmacy and nursing.
