{"id":1259,"name":"Bianca Belcher, MPH, PA-C","url":"","description":"I grew up in Maine and began my healthcare career in the field of orthotics and prosthetics in 2004. I completed a master\u2019s degree in public health (at the Dartmouth Institute of Health Policy and Clinical Practice) in June 2010 and a master\u2019s degree in science at Northeastern University's physician assistant program in August 2012. While at Northeastern, I became a 2011\u20132012 Albert Schweitzer Fellow and completed a year-long community health project focused on the sexual education of adolescents and asthma action plans. I am currently pursuing my clinical passion of neurosurgery at Brigham & Women's Hospital in Boston, MA where I work with the chief of vascular and endovascular neurosurgery, splitting my time between clinic, procedures, research, and practice-building. I hold academic positions at Harvard Medical School, Northeastern University, and the Massachusetts General Hospital Institute for Health Professions. My interests include integrating social media into the delivery of better health services, traveling, mixed martial arts, and the latest Netflix obsession.
