After two years at Columbia University’s Post-Baccalaureate Premedical Program, Sanders was accepted to the Yale School of Medicine “as part of the 10 percent of the class they reserve for weirdos,” she said. But by then, Sanders said, she was ready to move on professionally and decided that of all the subjects she covered as a journalist, medicine intrigued her most. Less than 10 years later, while working for CBS News, she won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Coverage of a Breaking News Story for coverage of Hurricane Hugo as it slammed into her hometown of Charleston, S.C. After graduation she took a job with ABC at Good Morning America. As an undergraduate at the College of William and Mary, she majored in English, wrote for The Flat Hat, the college paper, and served pints of ale at Chownings Tavern in Colonial Williamsburg. Sanders’ path to medicine was anything but traditional. Her most recent book is a collection of her columns and is titled, Diagnosis: Solving the Most Baffling Medical Mysteries.
Last year she collaborated with the New York Times on an eight-hour documentary series on the process of diagnosis for Netflix. In 2010, she published a book titled Every Patient Tells a Story: Medical Mysteries and the Art of Diagnosis. Her column was the inspiration for the Fox program House MD (2004-2012) and she served as a consultant to the show. In addition to her work as a physician and teacher, she writes the popular Diagnosis column for the New York Times Magazine and the Think Like a Doctor column featured in the New York Times blog, The Well. Lisa Sanders is a clinician educator in the Primary Care Internal Medicine Residency Program.
