She has mentored over 30 graduate and medical students, residents, fellows, and junior faculty in clinical and health services research, a majority of whom are now successful faculty members in academic medicine. Dr. Vickrey is a member of the National Academy of Medicine and a prior President of the American Neurological Association. She earned her MD from Duke University and her MPH from UCLA.
