Portrait of Dr. Sherry-Ann Brown.

Listen to this story

A life across disciplines

Care at human scale. Vision at systems scale.

I am a physician scientist cardiologist whose work moves across clinical care, research, education, innovation, equity, writing, and service. My Mayo Clinic training shaped a disciplined approach to inquiry. The people and communities I serve continue to shape the questions worth asking.

I work in general and preventive cardiology, cardio-oncology, cancer survivorship, and national virtual cardiology. Across approximately twenty-five years in research and academic medicine, I have learned to hold the individual story and the larger system within the same field of attention.

My enduring question is simple: how can knowledge become care, opportunity, stewardship, and a stronger future?

Complete narration transcript

Welcome. I am Dr. Sherry-Ann Brown, MD, PhD, FACC, FAHA, a physician scientist cardiologist whose work brings together care, research, education, innovation, equity, writing, and service. I trained in the Mayo Clinic Clinician Investigator Program through Internal Medicine residency and Cardiology fellowship. My clinical focus includes general and preventive cardiology, cardio-oncology, cancer survivorship, and national virtual cardiology. Across approximately twenty-five years in research and academic medicine, I have learned to move between the intimate scale of one person and the systems that shape care for many. I am licensed as a medical doctor across all fifty states and Washington, DC. I serve as Scientific Director of Heart Spark Research and Innovation Institute and as a Clinical Associate Professor at Florida International University College of Medicine. I also guide an interconnected family of clinical, research, educational, technology, publishing, business, and service initiatives. Here, I celebrate Caribbean identity, spiritual gifts, discovery, joyful practice, and the small keys that can open unexpectedly significant doors. My work is guided by strategy, curiosity, disciplined learning, connectedness, faith, and a future-facing commitment to leave people and systems stronger than I found them.
