After 17 years in healthcare and military service, Selam Gebrezghi noticed a common thread across every specialty she practiced: mental health.
That realization led her back to her alma mater. After earning her psychology degree from UC Davis in 2002, she returned more than 20 years later to complete the UC Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Certificate Program.
Today, she’s focused on supporting survivors of interpersonal violence.
“A lot of times, these patients are going to the emergency room post sexual assault or trauma. There’s no place for them to receive follow-up. My passion is to be the one to follow up with these populations, focusing on women’s health, brain health and focusing on how to intervene early,” Selam said.
