Speaker:

Naomi Shike, MD is an internist with the hospital medicine group, providing care to patients while they are hospitalized at Harborview Medical Center. She previously served as a Chief Resident and Clinician Teacher Fellow at the Puget Sound VA Medical Center in the Primary Care Clinic, and during residency she completed the HIV Pathway, and remains interested in both medical education and HIV care.

In addition to her clinical interests and responsibilities, Dr. Shike is interested in the application of social psychology, in which she completed a masters degree prior to beginning her career in medicine, to research, patient care and teaching. She is passionate about furthering equity in healthcare, better understanding health-related behavior and her patients’ diverse beliefs and practices surrounding health, and teaching students and trainees to identify and work to mitigate the effects of bias in our healthcare system.

Dr. Shike came to Seattle after attending medical school at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City. She completed her residency and chief residency at UW, and is now a proud and dedicated Pacific Northwesterner and Seattlite.
