 Fola May, MD
Education and Career Development Officer
I grew up in sunny Palos Verdes, California, leaving after high school to study biology and economics at Yale. My interest in epidemiology and health care led me to work abroad in Costa Rica and then Nigeria for some time before heading to the University of Cambridge to formally study epidemiology and systems of health care delivery. After leaving the UK, I moved to Boston to attend medical school at Harvard and was then fortunate enough to have the opportunity to train in internal medicine at MGH. My interests within medicine include gastroenterology (particularly pancreatobiliary disease), global health policy, and chronic disease prevention. When out of the hospital, my hobbies include jogging, making jewelry, creative writing, and travel with my husband.
