Jesica Liu, MD (2020-2023)
Dr. Jesica Liu earned her medical degree from Los Andes University in Colombia where she was born. Since early on in her career, she was very passionate about research and pediatrics. She completed her pediatric residency at the University of Texas Health, San Antonio in 2020. Dr Liu has been drawn to the biopsychosocial aspect of health care and believes in the impact of health literacy and her role in education to her patients, families and younger trainees. She recognizes the importance of early intervention and education on the development and behavior of children. She is especially passionate about being able to work with a diverse population, advocate for her patients and help families navigate the social difficulties, lack of resources, misconceptions and cultural barriers related to mental health and developmental diagnoses. Her interests include global health and working on advancing pediatric medicine by making information and health care tools available to different populations and in different languages. For these reasons she decided to pursue further training in developmental- behavioral pediatrics at University of California San Diego.
