Brady Hanshaw, BS
Medical Student at Harvard Medical School
Brady Hanshaw is pursuing his MD at Harvard Medical School. Brady is passionate about alleviating health inequities among sexual and gender minority communities through advocacy and community-driven research. He has a firm commitment to prioritize marginalized patient populations and systemically confront health inequities as a physician. Brady graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University as a Robertson Scholar. Prior to graduate school, Brady was a Co-Investigator in the Division of Infectious Diseases at the UNC School of Medicine, helping implement technological and clinical interventions to improve HIV prevention and treatment outcomes among sexual and gender minority youth. His current working includes researching minority stress and mental health inequities among sexual and gender youth within the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the UCSF School of Medicine, alongside work with Fenway Health and Harvard Medical School to integrate sexual and gender minority youth perspectives into their graduate medical education. Brady grew up in Sissonville, West Virginia, and—outside of his studies—is an avid hiker and backpacker, and has completed treks throughout the Andes Mountains in Peru and the Appalachian Mountains in West Virginia and North Carolina.
