Bio

Dr. Burke is a New Orleans native who graduated from Louisiana State University School of Medicine in New Orleans. She subsequently completed her Internal Medicine Residency and Infectious Diseases Fellowship training with a focus in transplant infectious diseases at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee. Inspired by the dedication of the LSU faculty who taught her as a medical student after the destruction of Hurricane Katrina, Dr. Burke moved home to join the LSU Infectious Diseases Section in 2014. She spent several years as the site director for Transplant Infectious Diseases fellow rotations at Ochsner Medical Center before assuming the role of Fellowship Program Director in 2020 and shifting her clinical practice to University Medical Center. The focus of her academic career is longitudinal medical education and, in addition to her duties as the Fellowship Program Director, she serves as the Internal Medicine Clerkship Site Director and the Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology Content Director for preclinical medical students. In addition to her duties at LSU, Dr. Burke serves on several national committees for the IDSA, ACP, and NBME where she develops enduring curricular materials.
