Stephanie T. Carter-Henry, MD, MS, FAAFP (she/her/hers) Associate Professor Education Co-Director and Medical Director Pronunciation of Dr. Stephanie Carter-Henry UMass Chan Medical School, 2008 UMass Chan Family Medicine Residency (Barre), 2011 Clinical/Academic Interests: Clinically I enjoy care of young famllies, prenatal, intrapartum and postpartum/newborn care. I enjoy procedures including colposcopy. I am passionate about care of patients with complex mental health needs and co-management with integrated behavioral health. I am interested in the interface between mindfulness, leadership, and process improvement and how to incorporate this into medical education. I am committed to developing sustainable practices that allow us to care for our communities and educate our learners to deliver quality care and how to work with/lead a highly effective team. I am interested to use the power of the EMR to improve sustainability and reduce burden and non-value added work for our teams. I enjoy the variety in my work which includes teaching, inpatient MCH, primary care, college health, procedural care and leadership. About Stephanie: I live in Holden, MA with my husband Matt and children Samantha and Elsa (named after her maternal grandmother and not Frozen!) I enjoy the New England seasons and have a favorite part of each of them! In particular, I love the Rhode Island shoreline and frequent the beach with my family in the summer. My extended family is mostly in Massachusetts and Rhode Island and I've been known to drop the occasional "r" in conversation! I am one of two children with a younger sister in Denver and definitely have older child tendencies. I'm a UMass "lifer" as you can tell from my training! Why Family Medicine? Family Medicine values caring for entire families and communities and I draw strength from this. There is so much insight and effectiveness you can gain as a doctor for an entire family and it makes my work even more meaningful. In particular, the opportunity to care for families through the transitions that come with pregnancy, delivery and transitions after delivery is one that I find rewarding and family medicine has such a unique ability to care for families in this way - it is the best part of what I get to do.
