Roxanne Becker, MBChB, DipIBLM

Dr. Roxanne Becker, MBChB, dipIBLM is the Medical Editor and Educator at the Physicians Committee. She graduated with a medical degree from the University of Cape Town in South Africa, cum laude, in 2018 and went on to work in the public healthcare sector in South Africa for three years. After being disappointed by the lack of nutrition lectures during her medical training, Dr. Becker chose to spend her final year medical elective at the Barnard Medical Center to learn more about plant-based nutrition. She returned four years later with a passion to provide the next generation of medical students with the education she was unable to receive. She has a diploma in Lifestyle Medicine from the International Board of Lifestyle Medicine and is certified in plant-based nutrition.

Dr. Becker is actively involved in clinical research (focusing on diabetes and weight loss), the Lunch and Learn program where she gives nutrition lectures to medical students, and the National Diabetes Program where she cohosts weekly webinars with registered dietitian, Anna Herby, among other projects.
