Jasmine Michele Weiss, MD

“I believe every child deserves an equal opportunity to thrive and receive the best health care, no matter what their zip code is. As a pediatrician, researcher and innovator, I’m committed to providing exceptional care for patients and families, addressing health disparities and increasing representation in medicine to create a more equitable health care system. My goal is to empower families and the next generation through direct patient care, advocacy and innovation.”

Dr. Jasmine Weiss is board certified in pediatrics.

After experiencing her own childhood health challenges, she was inspired by the compassion and care she received from her pediatricians, and she sought to one day provide the same for other children. She values the opportunities to build meaningful connections with children and their families, and she works to advance their health and well-being both inside and outside the clinic. Dr. Weiss combines her passion for medicine, education and advocacy to make a lasting impact on future generations.

Her research interests include medical education, and she received a grant through the Carolina Healthcare Workforce Research Center (CHWRC) to study the impact of undergraduate programs at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) on the physician career pathway. The National Medical Association named Dr. Weiss one of the Top Healthcare Professionals Under 40. 

Additionally, she is the founder of Black Med Connect and host of the B-MED podcast, an initiative focused on increasing representation in medicine and developing resources for trainees.

Dr. Weiss received her bachelor's degree in biology at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU) and her medical degree at Duke University. She completed residency in pediatrics at Emory University, where she also served as chief resident. She then completed a fellowship in the National Clinician Scholars Program at Yale University.

Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with family and friends and traveling to warm- weather locations with beautiful beaches. She loves reading, exercising, watching the NBA and cheering for the Golden State Warriors. Her faith is very important to her, and she is passionate about health tech, innovation and entrepreneurship. She has written a successful children’s book to inspire early career exploration. Being creative as an author, podcaster and entrepreneur has become a meaningful way for her to continue empowering the next generation of brilliant minds.
