Resident
Boston Medical Center
Noor Chadha, MD, MS is a 3rd year OBGYN resident at Boston Medical Center. She received a BA from UC Berkeley in Molecular and Cell Biology with a minor in Global Poverty and Practice. She then received her MS through the School of Public Health at UC Berkeley alongside her MD at UCSF through the UC Berkeley-UCSF Joint Medical Program. Her master's thesis focused on designing and conducting a mixed-methods evaluation of a youth voter engagement program at the UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland. Noor is also the co-author of an influential report entitled "Toward the Abolition of Biological Race in Medicine" that spurred anti-racist policy changes at institutions across the country. She and her co-authors founded the Institute for Healing and Justice in Medicine to further the national collective momentum of the thousands of learners, providers, community members, and interdisciplinary scholars that engaged with the report.
Noor has long been passionate about tackling structural determinants of health and about creating safe, trustworthy environments for patients to clarify medical misconceptions and explore their own health concerns. For example, Noor's research in residency has primarily focused on studying HIV in pregnancy, including patients' perspectives. She also aspires to integrate mentorship and teaching throughout her career.
