Rachel Lusk grew up in northern Arizona and received her B.S. in Biology and Society from Arizona State University. She then received her medical degree from the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Phoenix, and completed her pediatrics residency at Phoenix Children’s Hospital.  She is currently completing a year as a chief resident. Her time volunteering at a family homeless shelter throughout college and medical school inspired her to pursue a career caring for underserved populations as a physician, and she was fortunate to have global health experiences in Mexico, Malawi and Kenya. She is passionate about primary care for under-served patients and medical education, and she is excited to continue learning about caring for underserved communities locally and abroad as a HEAL Fellow. Rachel is a rotating fellow who will serve at Natividad Medical Center in Salinas, CA and SEWA Rural in India.
