PGY-3, 2022–23 Associate Chief Resident

Erica Smith, M.D., is from Hampton, Virginia and attended the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg for her undergraduate degree. There, she studied Sociology and Environmental Science and fostered her interests in learning about health inequities. She attended Saint Louis University for medical school where she furthered her interests in learning about the social determinants of health and gained experience by working in federally qualified health centers and volunteering in student clinics.
