    Member-at-Large

    New York Presbyterian - Cornell/Columbia

    Dr. Juliet Jacobson is a PGY-2 at New York Presbyterian Cornell Columbia. Before embarking on her medical career, Dr. Jacobson taught 6th-grade math and science in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. In her role as a teacher, Dr. Jacobson discovered that students often assumed she had a comprehensive understanding of their needs, while in reality, a disconnect often existed. Recognizing this, she made it her mission to create an open environment where students felt encouraged to share their thoughts, concerns, and needs. This dedication to fostering effective communication became a cornerstone of her educational philosophy.

    Shortly after completing her teaching role, Dr. Jacobson began her journey through medical school at New York Medical College. Within just two months, she was elected to the school's curriculum committee, where she served as a liaison between students and faculty. Now in residency, Dr. Jacobson continues to demonstrate her commitment to medical education and learner support. She helps lead her residency's recruitment board, volunteers at college outreach programs, and mentors students at her alma mater. Her passion for medical education drives her to create tools and resources that can support learners not only during medical school and residency but throughout their entire medical careers.
