Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- In this oral history, Yvonne Wilkins Fry-Johnson (AB Biological Sciences, 1978) describes her family background, the path that led her to Stanford, some academic highlights, and her career journey in medicine. She speaks about her involvement in student groups, including the Black Pre-med organization for which she helped to organize a conference with Dr. LaSalle Doheny Leffall, Jr. as keynote speaker. She also recalls the rewards of working with Dr. Howard Sussman as an honors student. After Stanford, Fry-Johnson went on to study medicine at Yale and worked as an epidemic intelligence service officer for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a pediatrician, the director of clinical services for the state of Georgia, and at Morehouse School of Medicine as both an assistant professor and senior research associate. Fry-Johnson concludes urging current black students to take advantage of everything the university has to offer and to network.
