   LEADING

   THE WAY

 

Melissa Myers, M.D.

 

Melissa attended the University of California - San Diego, where she obtained a bachelor's degree in biochemistry.  She participated in research on the structure and function of cAMP-dependent protein kinase during her undergraduate years and published her work in the journal "Biochemistry". 

 

After graduation, Melissa resided in Delaware and was employed as a staff scientist at DuPont Merck Pharmaceuticals.  She then moved to Missouri where she was employed with the University of Missouri - Columbia as a research specialist and was responsible for managing laboratories working in the fields of genetics and biochemistry. 

Melissa entered the University of Missouri School of Medicine in order to fulfill her dream of opening a primary care practice in rural Missouri.  Through her medical school years at UMC, she realized that Med/Peds training suited her personal career goals over other training programs, and she joined our residency program as an integrated resident in the fall of 2003. 
Melissa’s volunteer credits include Kaiser Permanente Hospital ED assistant and assistant leader in both Boy and Girl Scouts of America.  Putting forth the extra effort to excel has already made Melissa a valued member of our residency program.
