Physician NonClinical Careers with John Jurica


Jul 13, 2021

Dr. Luissa Kiprono is a perinatologist with a very interesting background, having been born and raised in Romania. As a child, she qualified for the Romanian gymnastics team and turned it down to pursue her education. She emigrated to the United States with her family when she was 19 years old.

She set her sights on becoming a physician. She worked many different jobs after completing her undergraduate and master’s degrees. Then she enlisted in the US Airforce, completed her medical training, and retired as a Lieutenant Colonel in 2010.

She attended the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine. Then she completed her residency at Wright State University/Wright Patterson Medical Center (OB-GYN) and perinatology fellowship at the University of Mississippi Medical Center (MFM). And in late 2020 she completed her executive MBA at the UT Haslam College of Business.

She has been practicing maternal-fetal medicine ever since. She is now in private practice. She has been drawn to leadership roles during her career. And now she is the Corporate Medical Director and Consultant in Maternal & Fetal Medicine at the Texas Perinatal Group (part of Mednax).

She is also the founder and president of World Gateway Perinatal Consultants. This organization brings perinatal services to African and South American countries.

You can hear her story and the qualities she believes physician leaders need in today's interview.
