Inspired to become a midwife by her Peace Corps experience in Mali, Slocum went on to work for six years as a full-scope midwife in a hospital in the Bronx, NY, and from 2011-2012 she joined MSF for a six-month assignment in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Slocum is currently working full-time at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan, and is looking forward to her next mission with MSF.
