Jamie Rand, M.D.
"It is wonderful to work in a place where we are all working together toward a common goal of curing cancer and improving the lives of our patients."
Jamie Green Rand, M.D., is a talented breast cancer surgeon determined "to be able to be there for my patients in all aspects of confronting and fighting this disease."
Her fascination with the inner workings of the human body began when she was a small child, watching and learning from her father, an ophthalmologist. Later, as a competitive gymnast, she developed a deeper understanding of body mechanics and the body's ability to heal itself.
Dr. Rand brought that fascination to Yale where she earned a bachelor's degree in molecular biophysics and biochemistry. She earned her medical degree from Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City, completed her internship and residency at New York Presbyterian Hospital-Weill Cornell Medical Center in general surgery, followed by a fellowship in surgical oncology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
Dr. Rand is excited about the advances in immunotherapy and technology, and focuses her research in these promising areas. She's delighted to join the City of Hope family. "I feel honored to be able to work with such an amazing team of clinicians and scientists at City of Hope to support patients through their treatments and to help improve their quality of life."
