Katherine Pocock, MHS, PA-C is an emergency medicine physician assistant for the Indian Health Services in Southeast Arizona. In addition to her clinical duties, she is a Deputy Infection Control Officer working with the Public Health Department. Time permitting, she also practices on the Navajo Nation where she previously worked for the past four years in emergency medicine. She holds a Masters of Health Science from Duke University and a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Earth Science from the University of California, Berkeley. During her time at Berkeley, she worked on an independent medical entomological research project on the interspecific comptetition between mosquito vectors in French Polynesia. This parlayed into further studies at the University of Queensland School of Public Health where she jumped ship to gain clinical experience with the goal of returning to the public health world with a broader clinical perspective. After seven years of clinical experience working in low-income settings across the United States, she is eager to be returning to the public health side of healthcare.
