Sabine is a practicing pediatrician who completed her pediatric residency at Mass General. Although she loves the field, she really wants to be able to care for whole families. Sabine will enter our program with a 6 month ”credit” toward her internship in family medicine. Her interest in primary care was sparked while working in a weekly continuity clinic in Framingham caring for a primarily immigrant underserved population from Central and South America. Already fluent in German, Sabine has become fluent in Spanish. She and her husband enjoy hiking, skiing, biking and listening to classical music and jazz. After completing her residency, Sabine stayed on with the health center for a couple of years. She recently moved back to Germany. |
