Bio

Rachel Munson, MD (she/her/hers) joined DFMCH as a resident in 2024. Rachel is a family physician because she is passionate about providing direct patient care to individuals and addressing system disparities that harm the community. Rachel is from Milwaukee, WI and she earned her undergraduate degree in Human Physiology and Psychology from the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities. She returned to Wisconsin to attend the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. While in Madison, Rachel developed her passion for advocacy and worked to advocate for reproductive justice, racial equity, and size inclusivity in medicine through her leadership of student groups and her participation in the Wisconsin Medical Society Medical Student Section. She also volunteered with Special Olympics Wisconsin and MEDiC, UW’s student-run free clinic. Rachel was drawn to family medicine because of the incredible opportunity to provide care across the spectrum of life. Outside of medicine, she enjoys walking and biking around Madison, traveling to new places both in and outside of the US, swimming, hiking, reading, baking, and knitting sweaters to survive the chilly Wisconsin winters.
