Brief Intro

Sonja Schoeppel was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan. She began her career in Oncology during undergraduate studies at Stanford University: Her honors program research resulted in a publication about treatment of head and neck cancer with surgery and radiation therapy. Dr. Schoeppel later attended medical school at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois. While a medical student, she returned to Northern California to study at Stanford's Department of Radiation Oncology. During this time she met Drs. Paryani, Wells and Johnson. Her positive experience motivated her to return to Stanford for Residency training after completing her medical degree. Dr. Schoeppel first practiced at the Virginia Mason Clinic in Seattle, Washington. A year later she was offered and accepted an Assistant Professorship at the University of Michigan, in Ann Arbor. While at Michigan, Dr. Schoeppel specialized in the treatment of female malignancies, lymphomas and eye disorders. Research activities included the design, fabrication, and use of a patented applicator for the treatment of cervical cancer.
