About Arielle Medford, MD
Dr. Medford obtained her medical degree from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. She completed internal medicine residency at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), where she won several awards including the Harvard Medical School Resident Teaching Award and the MGH Humanism in Medicine Award. She subsequently returned to the MGH to serve as Chief Resident. She completed her medical oncology fellowship at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute/Mass General Cancer Center, where she also became a clinical post-doctoral fellow at the Broad Institute of Harvard & MIT. Her research focuses primarily on the clinical-translational applications of circulating tumor DNA in early and advanced breast cancer, and how these tools can be used to lead to more personalized care for individual patients living with breast cancer. Dr. Medford is a recipient of the Young Investigator Award from the ASCO Conquer Cancer Foundation.
