Dr. Jolie LeBlanc is from New Orleans, Louisiana, and deeply proud of it. Jolie first traveled out to California to study Biology and Latin American Studies in foggy San Francisco. She developed her passion working with marginalized populations working for her college public service office, volunteering at organizations serving immigrant students, transgender patients, homeless individuals, and people living with HIV. She also headed down to Nicaragua for an internship working in sexual education, and to El Salvador for a liberation theology focused semester abroad.
Jolie moved back home to New Orleans for medical school, where she continued working in her interests of medical education, sex ed, and underserved medicine, and is most proud of her time helping to run her school's homeless clinic. She then continued her journey back in San Francisco, where she trained at the UCSF Family Medicine residency program focused on urban, underserved populations. During residency she has continued to develop her medical interests include HIV, immigrant health, adolescent sexual health and promoting health literacy for underserved populations. She has enjoyed the challenge of working with underserved, medically-complex populations, and integrating addressing psychosocial needs with medical care.
Jolie is excited to be trained in HIV Primary Care and to gain the skills to create system change in medicine. After fellowship she plans to return to New Orleans to improve access to HIV care there and strengthen primary care training.
