She obtained her Doctor of Medicine from the Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis, Indiana. She completed her Family Medicine Residency at Kent Hospital an affiliation with the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Zapf-Pedraza\u2019s clinical interests include caring for patients of all ages, with a focus on preventative care, chronic disease management, harm reduction, comprehensive LGBTQ+ care, and advancing healthcare equity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Her path to medicine began with an interest in the arts, writing and psychology. After unexpected life circumstances led them to pursue medicine later than some of her peers, she found a natural fit in family medicine. She appreciates the way family medicine brings together creativity, advocacy and science, offering the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in both individual and community wellbeing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Her philosophy of care centers on making all patients feel heard, cared for, and respected. She believes in getting to know the person behind the medical history \u2013 learning about their interests, experiences, relationships, goals, and dreams, and meeting each patient where they are. Dr. Zapf-Pedraza values the flexibility of medicine to create individualized care plans collaboratively, recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to health.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When not at work, she enjoys trying new foods, spending time outdoors, listening to music, playing video games, quahogging, gardening and writing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":294486,"template":"","specialty":[68,57],"language":[],"keywords":[],"address":[739],"class_list":["post-294359","doctors","type-doctors","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","specialties-family-medicine","specialties-primary-care","addresses-161_233"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Rebecca Zapf-Pedraza MD - Southcoast Health<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.southcoast.org\/es\/doctors\/rebecca-zapf-pedraza-md\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"es_MX\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Rebecca Zapf-Pedraza MD - Southcoast Health\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Rebecca Zapf-Pedraza, MD earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology from Central Connecticut State University in New Britain, Connecticut.
