Jennifer Karlin, MD, PhD, is a board-certified, full-scope family physician and fellowship-trained family planning specialist in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. Trained as an anthropologist and historian of medicine, her mixed-method research addresses how we can alter healthcare relationships and systems to encourage patient empowerment, equity, and quality—as defined by patients themselves. Her research focuses on understanding patient preferences for treatment options in sexual and reproductive health including self-injection of contraceptives, self-management of medication abortion, and patient preferences for contraceptive counseling. Focusing on physician identity formation, she investigates how health care providers can approach their clinical practices from a historical, trauma-informed, and self-reflexive perspective to improve quality of care, provide person-centered care, and decrease additional trauma caused by the medical system. Dr. Karlin serves in an advisory role as a medical consultant for the California Family PACT program and the Clinical Training Center for Sexual and Reproductive Health (CTC-SRH) and as an associate editor for Annals of Family Medicine.
