Robin Goldman, MD, MPH spent time teaching and doing environmental health research prior to deciding to go into medicine. She joined the HEAL team after participating in the Global Health and Hospital Medicine/HEAL Initiative fellowship, during which she worked with Zanmi Lasante (Partners in Health in Haiti) at a public hospital in the central plateau region of Haiti where she learned a lot from her patients and Haitian colleagues. After completing her fellowship, she decided to spend sometime in one place and started a combination of jobs as an adult hospitalist at the San Francisco VA, a pediatric hospitalist at a community hospital, supporting the HEAL program around curriculum, mentorship and evaluation and continuing to work on some small projects for Zanmi Lasante focused on capacity building through education and guideline development.
