Dr. Berry joined the NYU faculty as an academic hospitalist in 2007. She is a graduate of the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, Texas, and completed her residency in internal medicine at NYU. Dr. Berry will be spearheading a Capstone Quality Initiative Project for 2009-2010 at NYU Langone Medical Center.
