Dr. Ashaunta Tumblin completed her Pediatric Residency at Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas. Among her research experiences, she was a fellow in NIH’s Clinical Research Training Program during the 2005-2006 year, and a Schweitzer Fellow at the Albert Schweitzer Hospital during the summer of 2006. It was this experience that solidified her commitment to clinical and research training that inform policy decisions in order to better meet the medical needs of minority populations. Through her ongoing work with the Student National Medical Association, she became involved with the Girls Achieving in Life and Science (GALS) program. Along with a classmate, she partnered with a local community after-school program that offered a group called Girl Power and created a new GALS program for “tweens,” aged 8-10 years. Dr. Tumblin received her medical degree from Harvard Medical School in 2007. She graduated cum laude in a special field investigating acute painful episodes in patients with sickle cell disease.
