About

Elizabeth Lorick (née Darsan) was born and raised in Queens, NY. At the age of 17, she graduated from Bard High School Early College with both her high school diploma and her Associate degree through Bard College. She completed her undergraduate studies at CUNY: Brooklyn College, where she double majored in Mathematics and Biology, with a minor in Chemistry, within three years. Afterwards, she spent a year working as a Medical Assistant in a dermatology office, before matriculating into Stony Brook University School of Medicine.

She then joined the University of Connecticut Family Medicine Residency program in 2019, where she was a chief resident during her third year of residency. During that time, she served as a representative for both the GME and Saint Francis Hospital Resident/Fellow Forums, co-chair of Residency Recruitment, and member of the Resident Wellness Committee. She particularly enjoyed her time working with UST/AHEC (Urban Service Track/Area Health Education Center) scholars throughout their curriculum, focused on the underserved. Upon graduation, she was awarded the Rhea Barton STFM Resident Teacher Award, the UConn/Saint Francis Hospital Family Medicine Inpatient Service Award, and was also a resident inductee into the Alpha Omega Alpha (AΩA) Honor Medical Society.

She stayed on as faculty at UConn, and now provides outpatient care and precepts residents at the Family Medicine Center at Asylum Hill, practices inpatient medicine with the residents at Saint Francis Hospital, teaches third-year medical students, and serves as a continuity preceptor. She focuses her time into the Lifestyle Medicine Residency Curriculum (LMRC), inpatient service curriculum, and simulation activities, and explores her many interests in wellness; diversity, equity and inclusion; curriculum development; medical student and resident education; women’s health; prenatal and postnatal care; and procedures.

Outside of work, you can find her at a Broadway play, watching Netflix, searching for new ice cream spots with her husband, or trying to keep their houseplants alive.
