My name is Dr. Irène Mathieu, and I’m an attending in general pediatrics, and primary care, and teen health here at UVA. I’ve always loved children, and I feel like I’ve always gravitated toward the youngest person in the room. I love the fact that, in pediatrics, we focus a lot on prevention, and we have the potential to impact a person’s entire life. Starting from when they’re a newborn, all the way up through when they’re a teenager. When they’re starting to make some very adult decision that can have a long-term impact on their life. I would say the most unique experiences are my global health work. So, I did a lot of work in the Dominican Republic as an undergrad in college. That involved helping teams of physicians see patients in a remote community in the DR. As well as conducting ethnographic research around public health and, kind of, the biggest issues facing that community. And that’s what got me interested in medicine. I’m passionate about alleviating the effects of poverty and toxic stress. I’m passionate about reducing or eliminating health disparities. And I’m really passionate about academic medicine, and the ability to weave research into clinical practice. What we have at UVA is a group of very passionate people with a very broad set of experiences, and seeing many different types of diseases and disease processes. People who are able to tackle things that occur in rural communities, as well as urban communities and global communities, since Charlottesville is a refugee and immigrant resettlement city. And, so, I think that breadth of experience and that intellectual curiosity, as well as the fact that you have learners from all different levels, and then very more experienced physicians as well, working on teams really make this a unique place to seek care.
