Bio

Jenny Rose Park, MD, MCR (she/her) joined DFMCH in 2025 as a resident in the Baraboo Rural Training Track. Raised in a low-income immigrant family with limited access to healthcare, Park developed a deep commitment to addressing health disparities and advocating for underserved communities. Her professional journey has included training as a certified nursing assistant, volunteering at shelters for women and children, and conducting nationally recognized research as a Doctoral Diversity Program Scholar at Johns Hopkins University. Her research has explored stigmatizing physician language in patient medical records, emotional communication, and racial disparities, resulting in multiple publications in high-impact journals.

Park earned her MD at Oregon Health & Science University, where she also completed a master’s in clinical research. Her capstone project examined cognitive impairment and stroke in patients with end-stage kidney disease on hemodialysis. Clinically, she is passionate about mental health, caring for vulnerable populations, and delivering culturally responsive care.

Outside of medicine, Park enjoys creating art ranging from graphite drawings to mixed media art installations, making intricate origami, and assembling thousand-piece jigsaw puzzles for her puzzle binder. She also enjoys walks with her chi-weenie dog, Peanut.
