Hi y’all! I’m Shivesh Shourya (he/him), an M1 at Duke School of Medicine in the Primary Care Leadership Track (PCLT). I graduated from UCLA in 2022 with a degree in Neuroscience and just completed my Master's of Public Health at Yale in May, 2025, where I focused on harm reduction, LGBTQ+ health, and implementation science. I’m especially passionate about pediatric care, HIV prevention, quality improvement, and building systems of care that center equity and dignity. Outside of medicine, you’ll probably find me in the kitchen, at a group fitness class, or deep in pop culture (yes, I’m a Swiftie - but also team Charli XCX and Ariana Grande). If you have questions about Duke Med or PCLT, feel free to reach out! I'm always happy to chat: shivesh.shourya@duke.edu
