Dr. Nadine Jawad is committed to exploring clinic-based and community-partnered work and contributing to research that centers on equity and innovation. She joined the residency program in 2025 following her transitional year residency in internal medicine at Henry Ford Hospital. She holds an MD as a Knight-Hennessy Scholar at Stanford University and MPhil in public policy as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford.
Dr. Jawad grew up in Dearborn, Michigan, where she witnessed health care inequity in her community, which significantly shaped her professional interests. In the past, she led a virtual COVID-19 education campaign in collaboration with YouTube and the Stanford Center for Health Education, reaching an audience of over 6.5 million people. She has also worked to broaden access to health care for refugees in the Middle East.
“Most recently, I’ve focused on systems-level solutions—combining clinical insight, implementation science, and technology to improve how we deliver care,” she explained. Serving as an inaugural team member of Health AI Trainers at OpenAI and a contributing author to OpenAI's Health Bench, Dr. Jawad is currently evaluating large language models across critical medical domains, including triage, diagnosis, and counseling. This work helps assess how generative AI can be used responsibly to support clinical decision-making and improve health system efficiency. She is also pursuing an MS in health informatics at WCM as part of her residency.
“My interests now lie in reimagining how we design and deliver preventive and primary care,” said Dr. Jawad. “How can we build virtual platforms that serve patients who may not have broadband, tech literacy, or insurance? How can we use AI and informatics to support providers and patients?”
