Ambassador: Dr. Kate Raiti-Palazzolo
I am a New York native, completing my undergraduate studies in Chemistry at SUNY Binghamton and Medical Degree at Jacobs School of Medicine in Buffalo, NY. I completed my Internal Medicine training at Boston University, staying an additional year as Chief Medical Resident. I then returned home to NYC to work two years as an Academic Hospitalist at Mount Sinai Hospital before being drawn back to Boston Medical Center for Cardiology Fellowship. My interests are in medical education, imaging and general cardiology. Outside of the hospital, I am passionate about long distance running (particularly along the Charles), enjoying the cooking of my husband (who is a chef) and traveling to Europe any chance we can get.
