Dr. Hatcher’s interest in medicine began at a young age. Growing up, she witnessed her mother’s success in the healthcare industry, which instilled in her the drive to pursue a similar path.

Dr. Hatcher recognizes the challenges faced by students in clinical learning environments. The need to balance extensive coursework with fulfilling clinical requirements can be overwhelming. Additionally, the current system for tracking progress can be cumbersome and inefficient.
Dr. Hatcher sees Whitecoat Technologies’ platform as a powerful solution to these challenges. By streamlining the learning process and providing a centralized location for resources, Whitecoat can make clinical learning more effective and efficient for students, in turn helping them be better prepared for transitioning into practice.
Program administrators are constantly burdened with ensuring students meet all graduation requirements. Whitecoat’s platform can alleviate this burden by providing a clear and efficient way to track student progress, while using proprietary learning AI technology to supplement in-person clinical competency exposure with personalized simulated coursework. Whitecoat’s optimized training meets necessary accreditation standards and reduces costs for educational programs.
Whitecoat can benefit health systems by providing 360-degree visibility into clinical rotations and simplifying the onboarding and credentialing process. The platform can also help students find preceptors and rotations, ultimately leading to a more efficient recruitment process for hospitals.
Beyond her professional pursuits, Dr. Hatcher is married and is a dedicated mother to their young daughter. She is also a foster parent, actively involved in supporting a 16-year-old girl.
