Gladys M Rodriguez MD, MS - Guest Faculty

Gladys M. Rodriguez recently completed her hematology/oncology fellowship at Stanford in Palo Alto, California. She has just started her first job as an Assistant Professor of Medicine in Oncology/Hematology at Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine specializing in gastrointestinal malignancies.

She completed her medical degree at Yale School of Medicine followed by an Internal Medicine residency at University of California, San Francisco. She holds a master’s degree in Epidemiology and Clinical Research from Stanford.

Dr. Rodriguez is passionate about cancer care equity, health literacy, community engagement, and studying trends in care and outcomes of minority patients with gastrointestinal cancers. Her goal is to identify and develop scalable interventions to address cancer care inequities. She obtained an ASCO Young Investigator Award in 2022 to develop and test culturally and linguistically tailored digital educational tools to reduce language and literacy barriers among Latinx patients with cancer.

She looks forward to exploring the parks, festivals, delicious food, cultural events, and museums in Chicago!
