Delaney Scollan

Delaney Scollan (MD) is a Fellow in our Leadership Training Academy Class of 2027 and specializes in Complex Family Planning Fellow. Reflections on work, advocacy, and sources of joy are shared below.

What are your clinical or research interests?

I love research insofar as it has a tangible impact on patient care, quality improvement, and in medical education. Mainly I love to be the clinician and the one doing procedures.

What current policy issue motivates you to be an advocate?

The Dobbs decision. Attacks on trans rights. Mifepristone attacks.

What local justice-centered organization do you wish we knew about?

Chicago Abortion Fund

What is bringing you joy these days?

Getting to do this care in a highly protected state in a Chicago, which serves as a sanctuary city in serving the most out-of-state people seeking abortion than any state in the US. I feel supported and surrounded by fearless do-gooders and advocates.

I love being outside in this lovely fall weather, and I just got engaged and that is filled with excitement. And my job and having free weekends to see friends (was not a luxury all the time in residency).

Our Meet Our Advocates series showcases the talents and passion of one of our doctors and finds out, in their own words, what inspires them to be physician advocates. Learn more about the Leadership Training Academy.
