MAPS Mentor Feature: Dr. Lynne Holden, MD

By Alexa Mieses

In 2009, Dr. Lynne Holden was the recipient of the Bynoe-Thomas Memorial Award at the first annual Harlem, Take Care of Yourself Health Fair. MAPS members consider her a role model and we are not the only ones who think so. Dr. Holden was born in Philadelphia and later attended Howard University for her course of undergraduate study. She returned to Philadelphia and graduated from Temple University School of Medicine, before becoming a New York resident and physician in the Bronx. Dr. Holden is an attending physician of emergency medicine at Montefiore Hospital, associate professor of clinical emergency medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Yeshiva University, and is the founding president of Mentoring in Medicine (MIM).

MIM is a non-profit organization that links students from disadvantaged backgrounds, as early as in third grade, with health care professionals across all fields. Visit MIM for more information. In addition to networking events, MIM provides MCAT and professional school application preparation, a clinical exposure program for pre-health students, and hosts the annual "Yes, I Can Be a Healthcare Professional," Conference in New York City. The 2010 conference will take place at Frederick Douglas Academy in December. More information to come soon!
