Dr. Ebony King is a Los Angeles native, eldest of two siblings, and a board-certified Family Medicine physician specialized in Geriatrics. She is a proud alumna of The Archer School for Girls, starting at just 10 years old in the sixth grade in the Palisades. She completed high school in 2004 and was a part of the fourth graduating class of the School. She went to Brown University, graduating as a pre-med with a Bachelor's of Science in Psychology. She returned to LA and worked in the non-profit sector for AIDS Project Los Angeles and Planned Parenthood Los Angeles before matriculating to the Charles R. Drew UCLA Medical Education Program. There she graduated with a Medical Doctorate, with a focus on research in health care disparities. She completed residency training in Family Medicine at Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Medical Center, and completed a fellowship at the UCLA/Veterans Affairs Geriatrics Program. As a current post-doctoral researcher in Geriatrics at the VA and with support of the Charles R. Drew University, she is completing a Master's in Public Health Disparities and continuing research focused on geriatric polypharmacy and health care disparities particularly in the Black American community. Dr. King has four journal publications and is on the path to becoming a professor in medicine. She gives back to the Archer community as a donor, and was recently a speaker at the Parents of Black Archer Students (PBAS) graduation event. When not doctoring, Dr. King shows true joie de vivre, immersing herself in photography, dance, and travel. She has a lifelong desire for learning, exploring the world, and contributing to its positive change.
