Welcome to Collective Conversations, a series of discussions aimed at highlighting people and groups working to improve health through better health care systems. I’m your host, Joy Lee, a program manager for the Value and Systems Science Lab led by Dr. Joshua Liao who is a physician and associate chair for Health Systems in the Department of Medicine at the University of Washington.

In today's conversation you'll hear from Dr. Anisha Ganguly. 

Dr. Ganguly is a recent graduate from the University of Washington internal medicine residency program’s primary care track. She received her undergraduate training in biochemistry and Spanish literature at the University of Chicago and her MD and MPH from University of Texas Southwestern Medical School. During her time at the UW, she completed the Health Systems Pathway and conducted research focused on addressing racial disparities in access to mammography in Seattle as part of the UW Medicine Breast Health Equity initiative. Upon completion of her residency, she has returned to her home state of Texas as the inaugural Health Equity Fellow at Parkland Memorial Hospital and UT Southwestern Medical Center, where she will continue to lead research focused on equitable care delivery and practice primary care for marginalized populations.
