Rachel Ehrman-Dupre, MD was a fellow in the inaugural 2020 Cooper Addiction Medicine Fellowship. Prior to her fellowship training, she completed residency training in family and community medicine at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital at Jefferson Health.

During residency training, she focused on the care of vulnerable populations with an emphasis on sexual and reproductive health and spent a year of training holding a continuity clinic at the Mazzoni Center, a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning (LGBTQ) community health clinic in Philadelphia. She sought additional training experience during residency through Pathways to Housing PA in Philadelphia, working primarily with patients with substance use disorder (SUD).

Since joining the Cooper University Health Care Center for Healing as faculty, Dr. Ehrman-Dupre has focused on integrating primary care and reproductive health services into clinical settings. She also clinically leads the Empowering Mothers to Parent and Overcome with Resilience (EMPOWR) perinatal medical group visits. As a Cooper Addiction Medicine Fellow, her quality improvement (QI) project focused on pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) initiation for injection drug users (IDU), and she has since lectured both providers at Cooper and in the broader Camden community about PrEP for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention.

Dr. Ehrman-Dupre looks forward to expanding her work to improve Center for Healing patient access to a full spectrum of preventative health services.
