Q&A
ate last year, Dr. Sheila Laredo,
a health-care leader recognized
for her evidence-based advocacy and
teaching excellence, joined the Col-
lege as its first Chief Medical Advisor.
The endocrinologist, who was chief of staff
at Women’s College Hospital (WCH) for five
years, has built a distinguished reputation for
her expertise in health advocacy, social justice
policy, and physician training initiatives. In
fact, in her role at WCH, she was critical
to the development of a domestic violence
learning module for physicians and other
health-care professionals.
At the College, Dr. Laredo will be leading
the team of Medical Advisors (MAs), a group
of doctors who have become more tightly inte-
grated into the work of the College. Recently,
we spoke to Dr. Laredo about her role at the
College.
