Lindsay Schlichte
PGY1
Lindsay (She/Her/Hers) is originally from Long Island, NY. Before making the cross-country move to California for residency, she completed her undergraduate, masters, and medical school education at Duke University in North Carolina. During her time in medical school, Lindsay fostered her interests in serious illness care, leadership development, and teaching.
Lindsay chose Med-Peds as she couldn’t imagine a career without both! From caring for newborns after their first breath, to interacting with authentic and animated children and young adults in clinic, to navigating the course of chronic illnesses, aging, and end-of-life in older adults, serving patients in both realms demands a commitment to curiosity and humility. She was also positively impacted by numerous Med-Peds attendings and resident mentors in medical school that were incredibly kind, versatile, and happy folks! When it comes to career interest, Lindsay is undecided but is excited about hospital medicine, palliative care, intensive care, and extensivist medicine.
Lindsay is thrilled to continue her training at UCLA, where she has met so many more incredible mentors within the tight-knit Med-Peds family. Outside of the hospital, she enjoys long walks and hikes with partner and their dog, hanging out with her co-residents, and exploring the desert (2 hours east) whenever she gets the chance!
