During completion of her MD at Jefferson Medical College, Dr. Krebs was fortunate to spend time studying public health in Costa Rica and gained experience in grassroots development work in Rwanda. Dr. Krebs then completed her residency training in Emergency Medicine at St. Luke’s University Health Network.

 

During her time in residency, she founded the Physicians Ultrasound in Rwanda Education initiative (PURE) to address a need for point-of-care ultrasound education for her physician colleagues in Rwanda.  PURE is now a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with over 130 members from 10 different countries, and has partnered with the Rwandan Ministry of Health and Faculty of Medicine to assure that we are designing an education schema that best addresses the needs of Rwandese physicians and patients. 

 

Dr. Krebs is currently in an Ultrasound Fellowship in the Department of Emergency Medicine at University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
