  • Amy Mackenzie, MD, grew up in Los Angeles but fled the scene in 1994 after college in rural New York to live and work in Japan for 3 years. She decided to pursue medicine at that time and headed back to the states to finish up pre-med work while working for the Japanese Consulate in Los Angeles. She then moved to Philadelphia in 2000 to work and apply to med school, ultimately enrolling at MCP-Hahnemann (now Drexel). After a year as part-time faculty at the med school, she went on to 3 years of IM residency at Temple and subsequently worked as a hospitalist at Fox Chase for a year between residency and fellowship. She completed heme/onc fellowship at Jefferson in 2013 and then became the first oncologist to do a geriatrics fellowship at Jefferson. She has 4 board certifications: internal medicine, hematology, oncology and geriatrics. She is an associate professor and a fellow of the American College of Physicians, actively participates in an older adults task force with ASCO (Amercian Society of Clinical Oncology) and sits on the board of the newly formed American Academy of Geriatric Oncology. Welcome to the show!

    Living in New Zealand 🇳🇿 for me viewing a woman doctor. Who is extremely knowledgeable at her job.
    The subject matter is sensitive. Cancer, Oncology. Different fields of Oncology. Dr Amy McKenzie as a
    viewer admiring all your achievements, what do you think of coming to New Zealand and getting to know;
    US. Our cosmopolitan population to mix it with the medical teams downunder. Very enjoyable interview Zach Highley.
