I had a conversation with Dr. Sarah Cohen-Solomon, a pediatrician at P.R.I.S.M Spine and Joint  in Sliver Spring, Maryland where she primarily supports young adults with Ehlers-Danlos Hypermobility Syndrome (hEDS), Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), and other chronic health conditions. Dr. Cohen-Solomon shared her experience as a student with hEDS and discussed her educational journey through high school, college, and into medical school. We also discussed her work supporting patients in their own educational journey and how she uses her lived experience to inform her practice. We talked about: 

  • Preparing for college
  • Developing self advocacy skills
  • Medication and healthcare management 
  • Independent living skills
