.Kay started out as lab assistant for a professor she had at the University she attended. She went to medical school at the same university she attended where she was a psychiatry intern helping patients that needed help. She enjoyed being an intern and enjoyed attending medical school. Kay Jamison works as a professor as a Professor of Mood Disorders at John Hopkins University. She is known for giving speeches across the country. In addition, she has been successful in her writing career. She is a traveling professor for different universities in England. A time of importance was when she began teaching in England as a traveling professor. While in England she would conduct research, and meet with professors. I believe that she will continue her contributions to the medical field.
