Dr. Gupte is a rising CA-3 anesthesiology resident from Fort Worth, Texas. He earned dual degrees in biology and electrical engineering from the University of Texas at Arlington and completed his medical education at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Drawn to the program’s exceptional training and robust clinical opportunities, he chose to stay at WashU for his residency.

Gaurang leverages his background to explore the neural mechanisms of anesthesia-induced unconsciousness through research. His clinical interests include trauma anesthesia, prehospital medicine, and critical care.

Outside of the hospital, Gaurang enjoys running, hiking, and motorsports. He has a strong interest in rural medicine and aspires to one day have a hobby farm. Inspired by the late Irish anesthesiologist Dr. John Hinds, he hopes to use his passion for prehospital care to serve his community and support high-risk international motorsport events.
