Prachi Priyam, MD MPH (she/they) was born in India and raised in the San Francisco East Bay. She first trained in anthropology and public health before turning towards clinical medicine. These initial years of work on health care access for homeless communities in New Delhi, India and then in Philadelphia, PA solidified her interest in family and community medicine. She serves as a National Working Group member for White Coats for Black Lives and has prioritized engagement with local community organizing in each of the places she has lived and worked. She aims to always practice abolitionist, anti-racist, and decolonial medicine, bringing these perspectives into her work as both an adult medicine hospitalist and reproductive justice-centered abortion and reproductive health clinician.

Dr. Priyam completed her undergraduate studies at Stanford University. She holds an MPH in Global Health and Population & Family Health from the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University, attended Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Jefferson University, and completed her family medicine residency at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center in Martinez, CA.
