Dr. McGee grew up in Asheville, North Carolina, and in rural middle Tennessee, where five doctors and no specialists served a county of 35,000 residents. Access to care often meant long drives to cities or emergency visits to the local hospital, where Dr. McGee later worked during college breaks from Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee. She attended medical school in Memphis on a scholarship and completed her residency and fellowship at Parkland Hospital in Dallas, Texas. After clinical training, Dr. McGee pursued a research fellowship at Stanford University focused on women’s health and ovarian physiology. McGee later held faculty appointments in Pittsburgh and Richmond, Virginia; she joined University of Vermont in 2013. She currently serves as vice chair of gynecology and director of reproductive endocrinology and infertility.
In 2021, Dr. McGee earned an MBA in health care policy and management from Brandeis University’s Heller School for Social Policy and Management. She lives on a small farm with her husband, and they are both active supporters of the Hinesburg Resource Center and Food Shelf. Her hobbies are vegetable gardening, blacksmithing and reading.
