RENEGADE MD

Angela Ross

On this episode of SoCal Voices, Dr. Partovi opens up about her unique approach to providing healthcare to some of southern California’s most vulnerable people. Hear Dr. Partovi describe why she pursued medicine as a career, the circumstances that led her to focus on street medicine, and the decision to document some of her experiences with patients in her new book, Renegade MD: A Doctor’s Stories from the Streets (available January 30, 2024).
