Biography
Dr. Beattie graduated from UC Berkeley with an undergraduate degree in public health. She subsequently obtained her medical degree from Drexel University College of Medicine and completed residency in General Surgery at UCSF East Bay. Following residency, Dr. Beattie obtained her fellowship training in Critical Care at UC Davis Medical Center and is currently pursuing further specialization in Trauma and Acute Care Surgery at UCSF/Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital now.
At UCSF East Bay, Dr. Beattie will continue her commitment to care of the critically ill and injured, devoted to serving her community, improving health outcomes and disparities. With a passion for surgical education, she looks forward to her work with surgical residents and trainees across multiple disciplines. She currently serves as an instructor for the Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) and Stop the Bleed (STB) courses.
In addition to her clinical responsibilities, Dr. Beattie is committed to research aimed at improving surgical care and outcomes among the traumatically injured. Her research interests encompass trauma outcomes and quality improvement, with particular focus on hemorrhage control, trauma-induced coagulopathy, and resuscitation optimization. She hopes to continue to progress understanding in these areas, with an overarching focus on how pre-existing patient biology and health determinants interplay.
A native of the East Bay, Dr. Beattie is thrilled to begin this new chapter of her career, dedicated to the practice of trauma acute care surgery and research at the hospital of her residency and the community it serves.
