Dr. Shuchi Pandey joined the Department of Medicine in the Division of Hospital Medicine as an Instructor in July 2025. Originally from India, Dr. Pandey earned her medical degree from the University of Delhi in 2021. She is a proud graduate of Lady Hardinge Medical College, India’s first all-women’s medical school, founded in 1914 to improve healthcare access for women and reduce gender disparities in the medical profession. Dr. Pandey draws inspiration from her alma mater’s rich history and is dedicated to promoting equity in healthcare. During her medical training, Dr. Pandey completed her internships at SSKH and KSCH hospitals, which provide subsidized tertiary healthcare services to a sizable underprivileged population in New Delhi. She then moved to Washington, D.C., where she completed her internship and residency in 2025 at MedStar Health– Georgetown/Washington Hospital Center, the largest hospital in the district, that serves a similarly diverse and underserved community.
Throughout her training, she explored a range of academic and clinical interests, contributed to several projects and quality improvement initiatives, and engaged in volunteer work. She now looks forward to fostering a shared enthusiasm for medicine with her junior colleagues in her new role as a clinician educator at Barnes-Jewish Hospital/WashU Medicine. Her clinical interests are varied and include inpatient medicine, pulmonary and critical care, and medical education. Dr. Pandey remains committed to advocating for accessible, affordable healthcare for all. Outside of medicine, she enjoys cooking, long walks with her cat, traveling, musical theatre, Indian classical music, reading about marine zoology, and watching cricket.
