Clare Schrodt, MD

Clare grew up in Louisville, Kentucky before moving to St. Louis to join the Medical Scholars Program at Saint Louis University. While an undergraduate, she majored in Neuroscience with a minor in Theology, spending all remaining free time exploring the food scene of St. Louis. As she matriculated into the SLU School of Medicine, she became more interested in the intersection of diet, environmentalism, and medicine, and she focused her extracurricular time on researching and volunteering with populations facing food insecurity in the greater St. Louis area. As a medical student, she helped initiate the SLUSOM academic support and peer tutoring program, led guided weekly meditation for medical students, and was selected as an AOA officer of her class. Her academic interests include the gut-brain connection and microbiome intervention, and she also hopes to spend her career studying and working to optimize medical education in the clinical setting. Outside of work, you can find Clare trail running around LA, skiing at Big Bear, creating vegetarian recipes to share with family and friends, and searching high and low for the best burrito in West LA. She participated in the couple's match with her fiancé, who is an Interventional Radiology resident at UCLA, and more importantly, is her unshakeable partner on the pickleball court.
