Assistant Professor of Medicine, Clinician Educator

Overview

Dr. Nevins-Herbert received her BA at Connecticut College in Neuroscience/Psychobiology. She then earned her MD at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia. She fell in love with Rhode Island during her family medicine residency through Brown University at Memorial Hospital of RI followed by a hospice and palliative medicine fellowship at Jamaica Hospital in Queens, NY. She returned to RI and has been working at Hope Health ever since as a hospice and palliative care physician. Currently, she works at the Philip Hulitar Inpatient Hospice Center. She traded in some of herĀ  inpatient palliative care responsibilities and returned to her primary care roots working part time at Thundermist Health Center in Woonsocket, RI for nearly 4 years. This allowed her to provide primary care, MAT, and outpatient palliative care to a vulnerable , underserved population. Her love of teaching has lead her to become part of the Geriatrics and Palliative Care faculty as well as an instructor in the Doctoring course for first year students at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University. She can almost always be seen with a learner working with her and is known for her role as the "difficult patient" in role plays for the Hospice and Palliative Medicine fellows.
