Sarah Elisabeth Lapey, MD, a native of Boston, MA, received a BA in English and Music from Williams College, while simultaneously studying Piano Performance and Jazz Composition at Berklee College of Music. Subsequent work as a medical Spanish interpreter triggered a decision to pursue premedical studies at Bryn Mawr College. She graduated from Harvard Medical School in 2000 and completed residency training in the Primary Care Internal Medicine Program at the Brigham and Women's Hospital. During her medical education, a passion for global health issues was sparked by rotations in Guatemala and Honduras. She is board-certified in Internal Medicine.

 

In 2003, she joined the faculty at UTHSCSA as an Assistant Professor of Medicine. Based mainly at the Audie L. Murphy Veterans Hospital, Dr. Lapey provides primary care to veterans in the Internal Medicine Clinic. In addition, as a clinician-educator, she trains medical house staff and students in inpatient and ambulatory care settings, and teaches through interactive conferences. Special areas of focus include obesity, hypertension, and global health.

 

Dr. Lapey has launched an elective in international medicine, offering students the opportunity to provide medical care to underrepresented individuals in resource-poor international settings. This unique experience aims to broaden the learners' clinical skills, advance their knowledge in tropical and community-based medicine, and deepen their insight into health care disparities, while fostering self-reflection as growing physicians.
