As a young medical student at Howard University College of Medicine from 1972 to 1976, Dr. Janet Mitchell (b. 1950) saw patients from some of the poorest neighborhoods in Washington, D.C. Later, from 1976 to 1980, she served both her postgraduate internship and residency at New York’s Harlem Hospital Center. “Working at Harlem and doing almost all of my rotations in medical school at D.C.
