Stephanie Sweitzer

Stephanie Sweitzer, MD, MSPH serves as a Fourth Year Fellow in the Division of Infectious Diseases within the Department of Medicine at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, focusing on clinically impactful research for underserved populations through HIV implementation science in sub-Saharan Africa and syphilis screening interventions.

Her academic foundation includes:

• Bachelor's degrees in Biology and Sociology with a Bioethics minor from the University of Virginia
• Master of Science in Public Health (MSPH) from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
• Medical degree from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
• Internal Medicine residency at Emory University

Dr. Sweitzer's scholarly work addresses critical health disparities via implementation research on HIV care access among key populations in Lesotho and South Africa, alongside U.S. emergency department studies evaluating syphilis treatment protocols and linkage to HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis. Her approach integrates public health frameworks with clinical practice to develop scalable solutions for resource-limited settings, driven by longstanding commitment to social determinants of health and bioethics principles established during undergraduate training.
