After graduating from Emory University with a Bachelor of Science in Anthropology and Human Biology, she earned her medical degree at Emory University School of Medicine in 2017. Dr. Dancy completed her residency training in Internal Medicine at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania where she met both Dr. Glaser (Chief Resident at the time) and Dr. Shalaby (the Primary Care Program Director). Following her first year of residency, she was accepted into the Penn Internal Medicine-Primary Care program where she further developed her interests in Medical Education by co-developing a method to amplify medical student shadowing experiences. She proceeded to serve as Chief Resident for the Internal Medicine residency program at Lankenau Medical Center in 2020-21. Dr. Dancy then joined the faculty at Pennsylvania Hospital as the Assistant Medical Director of the Penn Internal Medicine-J Edwin Wood practice, where the residents practice outpatient medicine. Working with Drs. Glaser and Wu, she built out the “Y” part of “X+Y” experience for Internal Medicine residents. Dr. Dancy also sees patients herself in her own primary care practice in Wood. Dr. Dancy was appointed Ambulatory Associate Program Director in January of 2023 and through this role has developed an outpatient experience for residents that allows them to grow their primary care skills and further develop their career interests. Dr. Dancy is particularly interested in helping develop skills around indirect patient care activities and continuing building her clinician-educator skillset. She is active member of the Association of Program Directors in Internal Medicine (APDIM) and the American College of Physicians (ACP).
