Rebecca Chen, MD

After moving from Massachusetts to Minnesota to Connecticut to Texas, I now consider myself a Texan and say y'all with pride. I attended Rice University for undergrad, where I majored in English and minored in too many things (Biochemistry, Sociology and Medical Humanities). My experiences beyond the classroom helped shape me most. I tutored other students, led a service trip on disability stigma, and dipped my toes into advocacy. During medical school at Baylor College of Medicine, I expanded on my interest in serving vulnerable members of our community. I co-founded and led Health Professionals Against Interpersonal Violence, chaired our asylum-seeker clinic in partnership with Physicians for Human Rights, and created diversity initiatives to bring about community-grounded change. I am passionate about providing quality care, especially reproductive and mental health care, to marginalized populations. I love reading books, watching reality TV, exploring new places, and hiking. I also love to eat and run a burgeoning baking Instagram (baking__my_way_downtown).
