Jattu Senesie, MD

Medical Specialty: OB/GYN

Focus: Early career physicians, well-being

Dr. Jattu Senesie is a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist, self-described recovering pathological altruist and native of the Washington DC metropolitan area. She is an alumna of the University of Maryland Baltimore County where she graduated magna cum laude with a degree in Biological Sciences. Her medical training took her to Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, GA. There she obtained her medical degree and completed her residency training in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics. Dr. Senesie returned to the DC area after training and spent six years in a private obstetrics and gynecology practice in Maryland.

Dr. Senesie retired from clinical practice at age 35 in an attempt to find a balance between maintaining her own sense of well-being and living a life of service. Since leaving clinical medicine, she has become a personal and professional development coach and physician satisfaction specialist through her business Essence of Strength. Because of her own experience, Dr. Senesie’s particular passion is helping early career physicians to be as intentional about the factors impacting their sense of satisfaction and well-being as they have been about those contributing to their success.

Through individual coaching, workshops, writing and speaking, she seeks to help her fellow healthcare professionals develop the mindset and the processes necessary to fulfill their potential inside and outside the clinical setting.
