Dr. Jennifer Charlton is an Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics within the Division of Nephrology at the University of Virginia. She is a native Floridian, the oldest of 3 siblings. Dr. Charlton attended the University of Florida for undergraduate training and University of South Florida in Tampa for medical school. She met her husband in medical school and they couples-matched to the University of South Carolina where she completed her pediatric residency training. This is where she figured out how much she loved the kidney. The Charlton’s moved to Charlottesville, VA in 2007 where she completed her nephrology fellowship and Masters in Clinical Research in 2010 while the Mr./Dr. Charlton completed a toxicology fellowship. The Drs. Charlton have 2 very active boys and enjoy living in “urban wilderness” in Charlottesville with their SPCA rescue dog, Lilypup (yes, the dog is named after a Pokemon character). Dr. Charlton loves spending time with her family, travelling, shopping, running and watching the boys swim.
