While at UW, Dr. Boone conducted medical anthropology research as the Principal Investigator of an IRB approved study at the Uganda Cancer Institute, Contextualizing Cancer Care in a Resource Constrained Setting: A provider ethnography. She also conducted translational research of an applied mathematical model of glioblastoma brain tumors that creates patient-specific in silico models or “digital twins” that predict tumor growth and invasion to improve neurosurgical and radiotherapy planning.
Dr. Boone went on to attend medical school at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine on a partial tuition scholarship from Siragusa Foundation. During medical school, she was president of the Health Equity Task Force, awarded a Schweitzer Fellowship for the creation of a medical-legal partnership on the West Side of Chicago, and appointed to the Illinois State Supreme Court Access to Justice Commission.

Dr. Boone went on to complete a second residency at JPS in Emergency Medicine where she served as Chief Resident and a voting resident member on the executive Patient Safety and Quality Committee and Patient Experience Strategic Priorities Working Group.
Following residency, Dr. Boone completed a Health Policy Fellowship at George Washington University where she also completed a master’s in public health degree in Health Policy and Management. During her fellowship, Dr. Boone served in the United States Senate for 12 months as a Health Legislative Fellow where her portfolio included reimbursement policy, rural health care, artificial intelligence in healthcare, and child welfare among other policy priority areas.
Prior to pursuing a career in medicine, Dr. Boone worked in the technology sector where she specialized in high reliability circuit and system design including medical devices such as automated external defibrillators, cardiac monitors, and high end ultrasound machines before culminating with positions working with Microsoft in product management for machine learning and knowledge management products and in global localization.
Dr. Boone is dual board certified in Family Medicine and Emergency Medicine. When not otherwise engaged, Dr. Boone enjoys hiking, discovering new international recipes, travel, and writing poetry.
