About me

Dr. Sharada Narayan is a specialist in internal medicine who provides both long-term primary care and urgent care. She is interested in partnering with older adults and medically complex patients and is passionate about the power of human connection to provide care and healing.

Narayan's scholarly and educational work focuses on cultivating compassion and reflective presence in medical trainees. She runs a course called "The Healer's Art" and support groups to teach clinicians to be in touch with their own humanity and that of their patients. She also supervises residents and medical students in their outpatient clinic rotations.

Narayan earned her medical degree at UCSF through the UC Berkeley-UCSF Joint Medical Program, through which she also earned a master's in health and medical sciences. She also completed a residency in internal medicine at UCSF.
