Talia Swartz, MD, PhD - The Power of Enthusiasm

Dr. Talia Swartz is an associate professor in the department of medicine, division of infectious diseases and medical education at Mount Sinai. She is also the co-director of the MD-PhD program and associate dean for MD-PhD education, and is also involved nationally through the AAMC GREAT group MD-PhD section communications committee where she has been developing resources to make physician-scientist training available to a more diverse group of future trainees. Dr. Swartz earned her MD and Ph.D. from Mt Sinai SOM and stayed on for residency in internal medicine and fellowship in infectious diseases before becoming faculty. Today we discuss her personal journey, her thoughts on strengthening the existing physician-scientist pipeline, and how to increase diversity in that pipeline.
