Johnson Outpatient Psychiatry Center. At Student Health and Counseling Services, Dr. Lasker has the immense honor of caring for students within the seven schools at UTHealth Houston.

She went on to receive her medical degree from UT Health San Antonio, where she then stayed to complete her general adult residency. During residency she had the privilege of serving as Chief Resident for University Hospital. This experience granted her the opportunity to observe the formal education of both medical students and residents from a more systemic approach. Additionally, it expanded her breadth of clinic experiences to include working at the county hospital, a military based hospital setting, and community psychiatry outpatient settings.
