Lisa Sanders
Summary
Lisa Sanders (born July 24, 1956) is an American physician, medical author and journalist, and associate professor of internal medicine and education at Yale School of Medicine. In 2002, she began writing a column for The New York Times called Diagnosis, that covered medical mystery cases. She is an attending physician at Yale-New Haven Hospital, which serves as the model on which Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital was fashioned for the series House M.D. Her column was the inspiration for the television series House M.D., and she worked as a consultant on the show. In 2019, Netflix aired the program Diagnosis, featuring a selection of cases from her column.
Lisa Sanders was born on July 24, 1956. She grew up in South Carolina. As a child, she loved reading about Arthur Conan Doyle’s fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes.
She majored in English at the College of William & Mary, writing for her school paper, The Flat Hat, and tending bar at a local tavern. She graduated in 1979. After graduation, she was hired by ABC News. Sanders won an Emmy for her reporting on Hurricane Hugo for CBS News. But she began to grow tired of working in the newsroom environment. As a journalist, she was particularly drawn to stories about medicine and, after seeing a fellow journalist (who was also a medical doctor) save someone's life after a boating accident, she decided to pursue a career in the field. She soon enrolled in the postbaccalaureate pre-medicine program at Columbia University to fulfill the requirements for medical school admission. Sanders has joked that she was accepted by Yale School of Medicine in a slot reserved for "weirdos"—entering at age 36, she was considered a "non-traditional" student, but one presumably enriched by life experience and work in other fields. She graduated from Yale as the oldest member of her medical school class and went on to complete residency there, ultimately serving as chief resident. She then joined Yale's Department of Internal Medicine and became an assistant clinical professor of medicine at the School of Medicine, teaching in the Primary Care Residency Program at Waterbury Hospital.
