[4] She had a child while in high school, stating, "The decision to have my son at a young age was not based on political or religious beliefs. On the contrary, it was based on emotion and a sense of responsibility. Had this happened decades prior, I may have been forced into an unsafe abortion or hidden away during my pregnancy and my child would have been given away. I am grateful to have had the choice to choose life". [4] She graduated with a B.A. from Arizona State University. [5] She went to medical school in Dominica at the Ross University School of Medicine (class of 2008). [6]

After graduating from Ross University School of Medicine in 2008, Saphier completed a five-year radiology residency at Maricopa Integrated Health Systems in Arizona. Following the residency, Saphier completed an Oncologic Imaging Fellowship at the Mayo Clinic Arizona with special interest in breast imaging. [7] Saphier is a diplomate of the American Board of Radiology and a member of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)'s Advisory Committee on Breast Cancer in Young Women. She currently resides in New Jersey, where she sits on the executive and legislative committees of the Radiological Society of New Jersey. [8] She is also part of the advisory committee to the New Jersey Department of Health and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. [7]

Saphier has been a medical contributor to several television news channels, most notably Fox News Channel. She is featured as a regular guest/host on panel TV shows such as Fox & Friends , Outnumbered , Mornings with Maria, Hannity, The Big Weekend Show, Fox News Saturday Night and The Five . [9] [10] [4]

Personal life

Books

Saphier is the author of the national best-selling [11] book Make America Healthy Again: How Bad Behavior and Big Government Caused a Trillion Dollar Crisis. [4] [12] [13] In the book, Saphier submits that "by getting healthier, we can reduce the astronomical cost of treatment. We don't need socialized medicine--we need to take better care of ourselves." [14]

She has also written Panic Attack: Playing Politics with Science in the Fight Against COVID-19, claiming that politicians have distorted the science around COVID-19 in order to score points against their opponents. [15] [16] [17]

Radiology is the medical specialty that uses medical imaging to diagnose diseases and guide treatment within the bodies of humans and other animals. It began with radiography, but today it includes all imaging modalities. This includes technologies that use no ionizing electromagnetic radiation, such as ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging), as well as others that do use radiation, such as computed tomography (CT), fluoroscopy, and nuclear medicine including positron emission tomography (PET). Interventional radiology is the performance of usually minimally invasive medical procedures with the guidance of imaging technologies such as those mentioned above.
