Dr. Jennifer D'Amico graduated from her podiatric residency in beautiful San Diego, CA where she gained valuable experience in foot and ankle reconstruction as well as orthopedic trauma. While living in San Diego, Jen also reconnected with her passion for the arts which included ceramics.She's now with us in Baltimore at Sinai as a limb reconsruction fellow doing a great job. Dr. D'Amico loves to volunteer (homeless outreach, Girls Think Tank). After graduating, Jen had a whirlwind mission trip to Nepal with Healing the Children where they did mostly reconstructive surgery on children and adults with neglected clubfoot. That experience in Kathmandu solidified her passion for helping the disadvantaged. Jen herself came from a modest background, surviving with her mother and brothers on food stamps and help from mom's family. Through hard work and dedication, Jen is realizing the American dream, graduating from college, podiatry school, residency, and finishing up her fellowship. She'll be returning to San Diego as an attending surgeon this summer. Jennifer is looking forward to continuing her mission work as a way of helping people around the world who are disadvantaged. She is very excited to be joining Team Sinai for our June 2011 Haiti mission. She is not concerned about potential security issues in Haiti. She knows that if anything were to happen to her, she has three Italian brothers who will come protect their little sister! |
