Description:

Bethany Weinert (Weinberg ‘06, Feinberg ‘10)
Primary Care Clinical Research Fellow, University of Wisconsin – Madison

Bethany Weinert is a Primary Care Clinical Research Fellow and MPH candidate at UW-Madison. Her research focus is on Native American pediatric health, with emphases on infectious disease and childhood obesity.

Dr. Weinert’s interest in Native American health began as an undergraduate at Northwestern University where she wrote her honors thesis in anthropology on the current status of the Indian Health Service (IHS). She also received her MD from Northwestern’s Feinberg School of Medicine, where she created an away elective rotation at Red Cliff Community Health Center, an IHS clinic in northern Wisconsin. Weinert completed her pediatric residency at the Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin in 2013, and continues to collaborate with the Red Cliff Indian community, most recently receiving a resident CATCH grant to assist community partners in creating a traditional dance and nutrition program on the reservation, and a Notah Begay III grant to continue and expand that program.
