Talia Kostick, MD

A Berkeley native, Talia attended medical school in snowy Vermont and happily returned to California to complete her Family Medicine Residency at SRFMR. She continued her training by completing the Family Medicine OB Fellowship at the University of Utah, gaining additional experience in reproductive health and high-risk and surgical obstetrics. Passionate about medical education, she enjoys teaching patient-centered and risk-reduction care models and looks forward to expanding and adapting the SRFMR Reproductive Health Education Curriculum in the unfolding 'post-Roe' national landscape.​

Prior to pursuing medicine, Talia studied public health and medical anthropology at Vassar College. She honed her Spanish language skills while working at a community-based rehabilitation center for children with disabilities in rural southern Mexico and as a medical translator for a non-profit that trains Central American physicians in cervical cancer screening. Her commitment to reproductive healthcare and birth work deepened during the three years she worked full-time as a birth doula prior to medical school.  Additionally, Talia is trained as a Sexual Assault Forensic Examiner and Asylum Medical Evaluator​
When not at work, Talia is often found with a dog in her lap, hiking, watching documentary films or sharing meals with friends and family.
