Executive summary

Available reporting shows multiple physicians named “Sanjay Gupta” with differing specialties and board certifications; the best-documented, widely known Sanjay Gupta (the CNN correspondent and neurosurgeon) is described in university and media profiles as a board‑certified neurosurgeon, while other doctors with the same name hold certifications in radiology, endocrinology, surgery or emergency medicine in separate listings [1] [2] [3] [4]. Sources do not provide a single, consolidated list of “Dr. Gupta’s full credentials” because they refer to different individuals sharing the same name [5] [3] [4].

1. One name, many physicians — the core reporting problem

Multiple source profiles appear under the name “Sanjay Gupta,” and they refer to different persons and specialties: the CNN neurosurgeon/medical correspondent profile and Emory/Grady affiliation; a radiologist at MD Anderson with American Board of Radiology certification and Added Qualification in Interventional Radiology; an endocrinologist listed as board certified in diabetes/metabolism and internal medicine; and other regional listings with disparate specialties and licenses — demonstrating that a single query for “Dr. Gupta’s full credentials” requires identifying which Dr. Gupta is meant [1] [2] [3] [4] [5].

2. What major profiles say about the CNN neurosurgeon Sanjay Gupta

Biographical outlets and university pages identify Sanjay Gupta (born 1969) as an American neurosurgeon, chief medical correspondent for CNN, an associate chief of neurosurgery at Grady Memorial Hospital and an associate professor at Emory; these pieces describe him as a board‑certified neurosurgeon [1] [2] [6]. Specifics such as exact board names or certificates beyond “board‑certified neurosurgeon” are stated in these profiles but are not itemized in the provided sources [2] [1].

3. MD Anderson’s Sanjay Gupta — radiology credentials

The MD Anderson faculty profile names a Sanjay Gupta who “is certified by the American Board of Radiology and holds a certificate of Added Qualification in Interventional Radiology,” a clear, discipline‑specific certification statement in that institutional source [3].

4. Regional and specialty listings show more variants

Other directory listings refer to additional Sanjay Guptas with distinct specialties and certifications: a New City, NY radiologist profile notes certification in diagnostic radiology and lists several state medical licenses (NY, NJ, etc.) [5]; Medical News Today/Healthline lists a Sanjay Gupta board‑certified in Diabetes, Metabolism & Endocrinology and Internal Medicine practicing in Indianapolis [4]; and various Healthgrades/Doximity pages show neurosurgery, otolaryngology and other specialties under the same name in different cities [7] [8] [9].

5. Why a single “full credentials” answer is not supported by these sources

The provided results do not converge on one identity with one uniform set of board certifications; instead they present multiple physicians of the same name with independent credentials and licenses. Because the sources do not tie all these entries to one biography, asserting a single, exhaustive credential list for “Dr. Gupta” would be unsupported by the reporting available here [1] [3] [4] [5].

6. How to get an authoritative, verifiable credential list

To be certain which Dr. Gupta you mean and to obtain a verified list of board certifications, consult the physician’s primary institutional bio (hospital, university or employer), the American Board[10] that grant the certificates (for example, American Board of Neurological Surgery, American Board of Radiology, etc.), and state medical licensure lookup tools. The provided sources illustrate that institutional profiles (MD Anderson, Emory/Grady, CNN) and specialty directories are the kinds of places that state certifications — but no single source here compiles every credential across all persons named Sanjay Gupta [3] [2] [6].

7. Closing context and caveats

Available sources identify at least one Sanjay Gupta as a board‑certified neurosurgeon (Emory/Grady/CNN profiles) and another as ABR‑certified with interventional radiology qualification (MD Anderson); other listings cite endocrinology, surgery or emergency‑medicine certifications tied to regional profiles [2] [3] [4] [5]. If you tell me which Dr. Gupta (city, employer, or specialty) you mean, I will extract and cite the specific credential and board‑certification details from the relevant source[10] above.
