Beginning her career as an internal medicine physician at Rutgers - Robert Wood Johnson, Carolyn Ward, MD laid the foundation of her career with a strong commitment to patient care and research. Her dedication to improving health outcomes led her to join Forward, a pioneering health tech startup, where she embraced the challenge of reshaping primary care. Driven by a passion for leveraging technology to enhance patient care, Carolyn then transitioned to Particle Health as Director of Clinical Strategy where she embarked on a mission to bridge the gap between clinical practice and technological innovation. Today, Dr. Ward is at the forefront of shaping the future of healthcare delivery. Drawing on her extensive clinical experience, she collaborates closely with the product team to identify and prioritize use cases for VBC organizations. She holds a medical degree from Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and a bachelor's degree from the University of Pennsylvania.
Every product team creating for the healthcare space needs to have a clinical expert deeply embedded in their organization to drive use case definitions, articulate pain points, define value, inform implementation, and perhaps most importantly, uncover problems or risks ahead of build. In a world where health tech is often trying to build the airplane while flying it, I hope there’s a doctor on that plane.
