Amanda Bradke is currently a third year internal medicine resident at Boston Medical Center. She grew up in the Midwest, in the city of Grand Ledge, Michigan. After graduating with a Bachelor’s of Science from the University of Michigan, she went on to complete a Master’s of Bioethics at the University of Pittsburgh with a focus on global health. During this time, Mandy wrote her thesis on the ethics of short-­term medical mission trips and worked full-time at Catholic Charities Free Health Care Center. As a medical student at Case Western Reserve University, and later during residency, Mandy participated in a variety of global health experiences. She traveled to Uganda as part of SocMed, went to India as a member of the BMC’s Global Health Pathway, and spent a month on the Navajo Reservation at Shiprock Northern Navajo Medical Center. In her free time, Mandy enjoys baking, eating and travelling. She is very excited for the opportunity to collaborate with all the other wonderful HEAL fellows she will meet. Amanda was a fellow who served at Tséhootsooí Medical Center in Fort Defiance, Arizona and Zanmi Lasante in Haiti
