Being a Maryland student-athlete on scholarship gave Pumphrey the ability to pursue the career that she fell in love with.
“Having a scholarship provided me with the opportunity to graduate college with minimal debt, which made applying to medical school far less overwhelming as most physicians graduate with approximately $200,000 of debt from their medical education,” Pumphrey said.
After playing lacrosse and studying at Maryland from 2004-2009, Pumphrey attended the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine, earning Doctor of Medicine (MD) and Master of Health Administration (MHA) degrees.
She served as a leader of countless organizations, boards and groups throughout her time at VCU, which earned her various scholarships and recognition.
She is currently finishing her last year of pediatric residency at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center and will go on to apply for a fellowship position in pediatric hospital medicine with the hope of becoming a physician leader. Pumphrey is extremely passionate about quality, safety and affordability within children’s healthcare.
During her time at NYP Weill Cornell Medical Center, Pumphrey has stayed involved in leadership roles serving as the President of the Pediatric House Staff Council and Chair of the Weill Cornell House Staff Quality Council.
“I partnered with hospital leaders to improve the resident and patient experience,” she said.
