Dr. Jans has always had a love of music. She grew up playing piano and flute and continued her studies throughout her undergraduate years, eventually earning a B.A. in Music from Iowa State University in Ames, IA. But “medicine was always part of the plan,” says Dr. Jans, who purposefully chose to study music as she knew the rest of her education would be dominated by science. It was at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine that she found her specific calling. “I went to medical school with an open mind and explored different specialties throughout my education,” she remembers. “I was drawn to psychiatry because I was interested in hearing a patient's life story and was honored to become a part of their lives in that way." She is currently working as an outpatient psychiatrist in both Iowa and New York, where she helps a wide range of patients experiencing life challenges that include anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorders. Like many of her contemporaries, telepsychiatry was part of her residency. “We discovered its advantages, especially with providing care for people in more rural areas who couldn’t travel,” she remembers. Dr. Jans follows all state and federal telepsychiatry regulations so she is unable to prescribe controlled substances at this time. Dr. Jans also enjoys teaching, including her work supervising and training psychiatry residents at The University of Iowa. “Teaching is something I’ve always enjoyed,” says the mother of two young children, who still makes time for music in her life as a flutist in her local community band.
