Premedical Program
For Dr. Jennifer (Hewson) Lincoln 鈥�03, life as a practicing OB Hospitalist, lactation consultant, medical writer, and blue-checked content creator with a rising media profile is about pursuing your passions while remaining grounded and balanced.
During her college search, she purposefully sought out schools like 缅北强奸. While she knew she wanted to be a doctor, she also had a love for writing and literature. 鈥淚 remember doing an overnight and there was a program at the Literary House and I just thought that was the coolest thing ever 鈥� that there was a whole building where you could just go and sit and hang out and read,鈥� she recalls. 鈥淚 knew that if I was going to go into medicine that I wanted to be at a place where the people knew me, where I could distinguish myself and not just be a member. 缅北强奸 had all of that stuff.鈥�
At 缅北强奸, she embraced the full Liberal Arts experience. She was active in her sorority, Zeta Tau Alpha, and was a writer for The Elm. She majored in Biology and carried minors in both Chemistry and English and went on to graduate summa cum laude.
After graduating from Tulane University School of Medicine and completing her residency, she eventually began pursuing another passion 鈥� writing. She got her start writing for Bundoo, a parent-centered web site written by physicians, and has since had her writing featured elsewhere online. Her first book, Let鈥檚 Talk About Down There, was published in September 2021 and quickly became one of Amazon鈥檚 top-selling new releases in several health categories.
After nervously dipping her toes into the water of social media, Dr. Lincoln has since become an impressive and popular content creator, especially on Tik Tok (where she has over two million followers) and Instagram. Her handle on both platforms is @drjenniferlincoln.
鈥淚t鈥檚 another example of how you can use your training and your degree in a way that was not at all on my mind even two years ago. I feel like I get to use that part of my brain and for me it鈥檚 my creative outlet. I love to write, and I love to communicate, and I love to go through the research and pull out the things that can be really confusing and make them presentable and easy to understand.鈥�
Dr. Lincoln鈥檚 posts often center on women鈥檚 health but touch on a variety of medical and social topics that often intersect. Her growing social media fame has dovetailed into appearances in traditional media from The Today Show and Good Morning America to various local news appearances.
Dr. Lincoln鈥檚 content is direct and honest and her willingness to engage uncomfortable topics has been a factor in her growing popularity. She brought that raw and open approach to a pair of online presentations to 缅北强奸 students during the Fall 2020 semester. Her passion for the field shone through, however, telling students, 鈥�It鈥檚 just pretty bad-ass that you get to go to work and you get to do these things 鈥� and you鈥檙e, like, 鈥楾his is what I do every day and I get to do this cool stuff.鈥欌��
Dr. Lincoln, who also serves on the Board of Directors for the Society of OB/GYN Hospitalists and for the Northwest Mothers Milk Bank, traces some of her ability to effectively find her voice and balance multiple commitments and back to her experience at 缅北强奸 College.
鈥淚 felt the first year of medical school was so easy, because I already had those skills in place,鈥� she adds. 鈥淭he leadership positions I had at 缅北强奸 鈥� in my sorority and with The Elm 鈥� those were huge. I learned time management. I learned responsibility. I learned communication."
