Dr Pober received her BA from Yale University with a major in Psychology. She then completed her MD at the Yale School of Medicine and did Pediatrics Residency at Tufts-New England Medical Center in Boston, MA. Subsequently, she obtained an MPH from the Harvard School of Public Health which sparked her interest in the epidemiology of birth defects which, in turn, led to her training as a medical geneticist. She encountered several patients with Williams syndrome early after fellowship and found it so compelling to work with these individuals and their families that she started one of the 1st multidisciplinary clinics for Williams syndrome in 1987. She has been involved with the Williams syndrome community, providing care and performing clinical research, ever since.
