Brandeis Hillel Day School Market Share Analysis for July 2026

We sat down with Jessica Rauch, a proud Brandeis alumna, who is doing amazing work as a Clinical Research Coordinator in the division of Gastroenterology at NYU Langone. While working at NYU, Jessica co-wrote a medical review paper that was published in the Translational Gastroenterology and Hepatology Journal which analyzed recent trends in colorectal cancer screening and evaluated the potential for future solutions to improve screening rates. Jessica has presented at multiple conferences such as the American College of Gastroenterology, the Korean Spine Society and American Association of Neurological Surgeons and will be presenting at Digestive Disease Week 2024.What inspired you to pursue a career in medicine? A lot of my inspiration comes from growing up in San Francisco, where I questioned the health issues and inequities all around the city. Furthermore, observing my grandparents’ early experiences with Parkinson’s disease made me question what caused their disease and made me wonder how their well-being could be improved with better treatments. It was in high school when I took Biology where I first learned basic anatomy and physiology concepts, and I wanted to continue learning more.
