Dr. Mia Williams is a primary care physician and Assistant Professor in the UCSF Division of General Internal Medicine. She hails from the border town of Nogales, Arizona, and grew up in a multi-lingual, multicultural household where her mother fostered her love of science while role-modeling activism in the community which has greatly shaped Dr. Williams’ career. Dr. Williams received her MD and Masters in Clinical Research from the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University and completed her residency in Internal Medicine at UCSF as part of the UC-Primary Care GIM Program. Dr. Williams is deeply passionate about DEIA in healthcare and medical education and brings this lens to her work in undergraduate and graduate medical education as well as faculty development. Her key work relates to improving equity of care for patients with limited English proficiency, anti-racism and anti-oppression in medical education, mentorship, and equity in career sponsorship. When not working on these efforts and seeing patients, Mia enjoys hiking, cooking, gardening, and marathon board game sessions
