Medicus

Stephanie Moss is an incoming PGY-1 Psychiatry Resident Physician at Rosalind Franklin University in North Chicago. With her passions for diversity, health equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA), she strives to be a voice for marginalized communities. During COVID-19, she co-founded the Chicago Homelessness Response Group for Equity, which brought together organizations across Chicago to combat disparities experienced by individuals who were most at risk of illness from COVID-19. During her clinical years of medical school, she advocated for trauma-informed mental and sexual health care through presenting at conferences such as American Medical Women Association (AMWA), Illinois Academy of Family Medicine (IAFP), and advocacy committee at the International Society for the Study of Women Sexual Health (ISSWSH).

During medical school, she publicly disclosed her own academic and health challenges including failing STEP1, taking a leave of absence, and living with chronic health conditions. Through her experience, she has become an advocate for combating stigmas in medicine and provided mentorship through social media, her blog medpsycmoss.com, and most recently, her podcast “Life as a Patient-Doctor.” During the 2023-2024 Residency application cycle, she dual applied to both Family Medicine and Psychiatry across the Midwest, ultimately matching in her top specialty and program.
