Faculty Spotlight: Nancy Simon

Dr. Nancy Simon completed her medical degree from the University of Virginia and her internal medicine residency at the University of Washington, joining the faculty of UW in 1997.

She has been an active outpatient clinician throughout her tenure in GIM lauded for her management of medically complex individuals. In 2021, she became the current director of the Roosevelt Women’s Health Care Center (WHCC).  In addition, she attends on the internal medicine inpatient service four weeks a year. 

Simon is an outstanding clinician and teacher. She has been described as “both a master of clinical medicine and the teaching of medicine.” She has proven herself to be a superb leader in a clinic with diverse staff and providers‐ internal medicine faculty, nurse practitioners, nurse midwives, OBGYN faculty, social workers, nutritionist, and trainees from family medicine, internal medicine, and OBGYN.

Active in DEI, Simon frequently has consultations and referrals for the care of individuals with developmental conditions – an area of focus that she has a passion for. In addition, she is a member of the Waivers and Incentive Scholarship Committee for the UW School of Medicine, whose aim is to provide scholarships to boost the recruitment of applicants who are under-represented in medicine.

Simon was also member of the executive committee within the UW School of Medicine Admissions Committee from 2014-20 and is a member of the External Information Subcommittee for the UW School of Medicine. She has co-authored three teaching cases for a MacGraw-Hill educational publication (Case Files), which is used by almost every US medical school.
