Anjalie Gowda
Aspiring candidate for a physician associate (PA) program with a passion for reproductive health and menstrual equity.
Currently serving with the National Health Corps in San Francisco, California as a Shelter Health Educator with the Department of Public Health. I document my experiences in short blogs.
I periodically post articles investigating under-discussed topics in the medical field centered around reproductive and maternal health.
As Vice President of the San Francisco chapter of the global PERIOD. movement, I work to address period poverty in the community and advocate for menstrual justice.
