Priyank Jain, MD, graduated from medical school in India at All India Institute of Medical Science in New Delhi and came to the US for his internal medicine residency. Then, he went to India for a year and worked in a variety of healthcare settings including remote villages and metropolitan hospitals. Over the years, he has learned that illness is intricately intertwined with socio-economic conditions, and as such health is a political issue. Dr. Jain believes that the ultimate duty of physicians is to advocate for their patients. This responsibility extends beyond compassionate and effective medical care to an individual; and includes addressing systemic factors that contribute to illness and accessing healthcare. To this end a physician has to become a change agent within his professional and social community. Medical education should prepare future health care providers empowered to lead such a change. This is his guiding principle for medical education. Dr. Jain currently works at Cambridge Health Alliance as a hospitalist and Associate Program Director for IM residency program. Cambridge Health Alliance is a safety net hospital that emphasizes physician advocacy and equitable healthcare. Dr. Jain is interested in capacity building for health care in marginalized communities and LMICs via medical education and mentorship of young professionals.
