Dominique Jones

2025 Medical Student Scholars

Dominique Jones is a recent graduate of Harvard Medical School’s Master of Science program in Media, Medicine, and Health. With a foundation in classical ballet and a B.A. in Human Health and Dance and Movement Studies from Emory University, she is passionate about integrating the arts and movement into her medical education. During her graduate studies, Dominique created a dance film that depicts the embodied experience of postpartum depression in Black women, offering a novel approach to share stories about perinatal mental health. Her previous research examined how PTSD and stress affect Black women throughout their pregnancies, as well as how motherhood influences the professional and personal lives of ballet dancers. Passionate about maternal mental health and the arts, she hopes to pursue a clinical career that uses humanism and art to serve Black women through pregnancy and beyond.
