Faith Fletcher, PhD, MA is an Assistant Professor in the Center for Medical Ethics and Health Policy at Baylor College of Medicine, a Senior Bioethics Advisor to and Fellow of The Hastings Center, and a Faculty Scholar of The Greenwall Foundation. Drawing from diverse disciplines and methodologies from bioethics, public health, and behavioral science, her empirical research investigates pressing health concerns and inequities facing medically underserved communities. Her scholarship over the past decade investigates the health care and research experiences of traditionally marginalized and stigmatized populations to inform ethically grounded and community-centered practices and strategies. She is currently the lead investigator on community-driven qualitative studies focused on the ethics of engaging underserved populations in research studies, including HIV, wastewater surveillance, and genomics research. Dr. Fletcher’s K01 Award, funded through the NIH/National Human Genomic Research Institute, uses a stakeholder engagement approach to develop ethical practices and guidelines for engaging Deep South residents in genomics research. She is also an alum of Fordham University’s HIV Research Ethics Training Institute, focused on empirical ethics research to inform ethical research engagement practices, policies, and procedures among vulnerable populations. In collaboration with an antiracism task force, Dr. Fletcher is a co-editor of the Hastings Center Special report entitled, “A Critical Moment in Bioethics: Reckoning with Anti-Black Racism Through Intergenerational Dialogue”. In 2017, Dr. Fletcher was named one of the National Minority Quality Forum’s 40 under 40 Leaders in Health for her commitment to improving access to scientific research and quality health care for medically underserved populations. This prestigious award acknowledges the next generation of leaders primed to reduce health disparities.
