Kenya Lyons, MD

Though I was born in Northern California, I spent most of my childhood in Yorktown, Virginia. For college, I attended Yale University, where I majored in Psychology and volunteered at Planned Parenthood, which led to my interest in medicine and Women's Health. At Stanford Medical School, I held positions in Medical Students for Choice and the OBGYN Interest Group. I then spent a year at UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center, undergoing training in Obstetrics & Gynecology, before pursuing Family Medicine Residency at the University of California San Diego. At UCSD, I helped to establish a protocol for medication abortion in the Family Medicine continuity clinics. I also led my co-residents through seminars on the TEACH Abortion Training Curriculum. I'm very excited to have matched into the Reproductive Health Care and Advocacy Fellowship at Rutgers!!
