Julia Zheng MD

I hail from Voorhees, NJ originally, and left to attend the University of Pittsburgh (Hail to Pitt!) where I double majored in Anthropology and Neuroscience. During undergrad, I played Quidditch, was closely involved in Global Medical Brigades, and was an assistant coach for Girls on the Run. Global Medical Brigades fueled my interest in systemic inequities both locally and abroad, which led to my involvement in the student-run free clinic, Promise Clinic, at Rutgers RWJMS. I am interested in gender-affirming care, women's health, palliative care, geriatrics, street medicine, food insecurity, and global health. When not at work, I enjoy traveling, running, powerlifting, reading, podcasts, gardening, and exploring new breweries and coffee shops. I couples matched with my partner who is a pediatrician at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. I am so thrilled to join the family at UPMC St. Margaret and to be back in my favorite city!
