Biography

Audrey Brown is a General Surgery resident. She studied Mechanical Engineering and Product Design at Stanford University and then worked as a Mechanical Engineer, primarily for an aeronautics company. She received her MD from Oregon Health and Sciences University in 2018 and completed a Masters of Clinical Research with a focus in Data Science at UCSF in 2023.

She is interested in Transplant, Hepatobiliary surgery, Palliative Care, and Medical Ethics and will be pursuing a fellowship in Abdominal Transplant Surgery at UCSF.
