Kanya McRae, DO, MSc

  • First Year Resident

Are you in a special track or focus during your residency?

My focus is on Underserved Communities, Women’s Health, and OMM

Why did you choose UPMC Shadyside Family Medicine Residency Program?  Why Pittsburgh?  

I chose UPMC Shadyside because of its commitment to diversity and serving vulnerable populations. Moreover, UPMC prioritizes offering a supportive learning environment.

What are your goals while here in the residency program?  How will this prepare you to be an excellent physician? 

During my residency, I am focused on becoming a highly competent primary care physician, dedicated to advocating for social justice and human rights and seamlessly integrating these principles with healthcare reform to deliver quality and affordable healthcare in underserved communities.

Do you have any special interests outside of the residency?  

Exploring other countries and cultures is my first joy. I also enjoy swimming and bowling, and spending quality time with my family and friends. Recently, I've taken up gardening as my newest hobby.
