Erin Boyd, MD, MSPH Erin Boyd grew up in Atlanta, GA. She received her bachelors degree in Neuroscience from Vanderbilt University. After a year of working as a research assistant at Vanderbilt, she obtained a Masters of Science in Public Health from Meharry Medical College in Nashville, TN. A couple of years later, Erin went on to obtain her medical degree from Meharry as well. During her time there, she was actively involved in multiple organizations, including the Gold Humanism Honor Society. Erin completed residency training in pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, TX. As a resident, she completed a scholarly project where she developed policy briefs geared towards improving the obesity epidemic in Houston. Two of the briefs were ultimately used in the writing of legislative bills submitted during the 2015 legislative session in Texas.
One of the many reasons Erin chose adolescent medicine is because she feels that it is a field where she can "make the greatest impact in a child's life." In addition, she believes that "adolescents are a lot of fun to work with." Erin's clinical and research interests include HPV and barriers to HPV vaccine administration, STI education and treatment, the care of adolescents with HIV/AIDS, family planning, advocacy, and health policy. While in fellowship, Erin plans to use the interdisciplinary approach to patient care offered through the LEAH program to enhance her skills as a physician by gaining more knowledge from the various health care professionals involved in adolescent care. She also plans to improve her leadership skills and become more active in the community. Erin is very excited about her fellowship in adolescent medicine at UAB.
One little known fact about Erin is that she played rugby for a year in college, and she was one of the smallest players on the team.
