Maya Jackson-Gibson is in her final months as a Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine medical student. Her time at medical school was spent beyond studying and spending time in clinics in Chicago. She traveled many times to Africa through a Feinberg program and as a Fogarty Global Health Fellow, to take part in research projects focused on adolescent girls and young women and reducing their risk of acquiring HIV and assessing maternal to fetal HIV transmission rates. She talks with Dr. Murphy about balancing medical school and global health research and her plans for the future.
