Katie McLaughlin, JD
Katie is a fourth-year medical student at the University of Minnesota. She serves rural, underserved, and other marginalized communities. She has had the joy of working alongside a team of brilliant, energetic medical students, along with an extraordinary MMA team and community members, as part of the MMA Medical Student Section’s Street Medicine Initiative. Together, they’re developing street medicine and outreach activities along with curricular and training opportunities. Their Section has also advanced policy related to supporting recuperative care. Additionally, as a student representative on the MMA Policy Council, she has had the opportunity to learn from the incredible physicians who serve on the Policy Council and, together, they have worked on policy covering a variety of issues that will hopefully improve the health of all Minnesotans.
