91ɫƵ Global Health Equity Memorial fund of Dr. Rachel Thompson

Rachel Thompson, MD, MS, graduated from 91ɫƵ Medical School in 2008. After earning her medical degree, she completed a pediatrics residency and masters in Health Services Research at Indiana University, and a primary care research fellowship at UW-Madison. She loved and respected her patients in all the places she practiced: from Indiana and Wisconsin to Thailand, Honduras, and Kenya. Dr. Thompson was passionate about environmental justice, vulnerable populations, and global health, and incorporated those passions into her research. We are excited to establish this memorial, which will benefit 91ɫƵ graduate and medical students who seek to honor Dr. Thompson’s legacy for years to come.
