Dr. Jocelyn Streid is a native of St. Louis, Missouri. She graduated from Duke University in 2013 as an English major and a Robertson Scholar. After graduation, she spent a year conducting pediatric end-of-life care research in Malaysia as a Hart Fellow. She then returned to North Carolina to work at the Resource Center for Women & Ministry in the South, a non-profit devoted to spirituality, feminism, and social justice. Afterward, she obtained her MD at Harvard Medical School as a Schwartz Center Compassion Scholar. She also received her Master’s in Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School, as a Dubin Fellow. Jocelyn’s research is in shared decision-making, serious illness communication, and goal concordance among patients in the perioperative period. A future pain physician, she is particularly invested in expanding access to pain medicine and palliative care, especially among marginalized populations. Through research and advocacy, she hopes to contribute to structural reform designed to improve the care we offer our sickest patients. A former chaplain-in-training, Jocelyn is also interested in the intersections among spirituality, theology, and medicine. Outside the hospital, she loves reading, writing, and trying to grow as many tomatoes as possible in her garden.
