Cindy Ramirez was 8 years old when her sister was injured in a sledding accident that broke her sacrum, a pelvic bone that supports the weight of the upper body.<\/p>\n

\"Senior
Senior Cindy Ramirez plans to pursue a career in internal medicine, but the Mary Washington biology major is already putting her studies to work as an EMT and president of UMW’s Red Cross club.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cI was really nervous, but all I could think about in that moment was how I could help her,\u201d said Ramirez, now a senior at the University of Mary Washington. \u201cThat was when I realized I wanted to pursue a career in medicine.\u201d<\/p>\n

This future physician is on her way to earning her white coat and stethoscope. An honors student majoring in biology, Ramirez has spent countless days and pulled all-nighters in the Jepson Science Center, memorizing organs, muscles and bones \u2013 like the one her sister broke \u2013 which will be essential when she attends medical school.<\/p>\n

But Ramirez is already applying this critical knowledge. Her four-month training as an EMT wraps up in January, which happens to be National Blood Donor Month. Between rides with the Fredericksburg Rescue Squad, she heads UMW\u2019s Red Cross club, an organization she\u2019s been involved with since her early days at Mary Washington.<\/p>\n

Ramirez felt right at home at UMW as a freshman. But she was all nerves when she began Phage Hunters, a biology honors course in which students have the opportunity to work with phages, or viruses that infect and replicate within bacteria.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t know what to expect, but it made me fall in love with science all over again,\u201d said Ramirez, who loaded up on pre-health courses like anatomy, physiology, virology and chemistry, as well as psychology and biology for her neuroscience minor.<\/p>\n

\u201cCindy has shown a great interest in clinical biology and an impressive drive to succeed in allied health,\u201d said Assistant Professor of Biology Parrish Waters, who guided Ramirez in her senior research project. The subject of her work is the effect of COVID-19 symptoms on different demographic groups, and she recently presented her findings at the fall UMW Honors Symposium. \u201cIt\u2019s a highly relevant topic,\u201d Waters said, \u201cand Cindy provides a valuable perspective, especially given that she\u2019ll soon enter the workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Ramirez
Ramirez spent the last four months training as an EMT, often commuting from Northern Virginia. When she’s not volunteering with the Fredericksburg Rescue Squad, she serves as president of UMW’s Red Cross club, organizing local blood drives.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Becoming an EMT isn\u2019t her final goal, Ramirez said, but it\u2019s a great pathway to a career in internal medicine, which she hopes to pursue through Bluefield College and then the Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine, after taking a gap year. She joined the local rescue squad last December; after the pandemic hit, she spent several months commuting from Alexandria to Fredericksburg to complete her training. The long drive was worth it, she said, as are the skills she\u2019s gaining on the job.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got to see the inside of an ambulance, experience the lights and sirens, and watch how the team works together to help someone,\u201d she said. \u201cNow when I go on calls, adrenaline takes over because you don\u2019t know what you\u2019ll see until you get on the scene.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ramirez, now president of UMW\u2019s Red Cross club, also organizes regular blood drives, which are currently being held at the Hyatt Place in Eagle Village. It\u2019s important to give blood right now, she said, as Red Cross tests blood, platelet and plasma donations for COVID-19 antibodies, which can help coronavirus patients who need transfusions. \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In her free time, Ramirez recruits fellow students through Stafford Junction, a part of UMW\u2019s COAR program, to become tutors for local schoolchildren. But with her hectic schedule, there\u2019s one thing she hasn\u2019t been able to do.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so busy encouraging other people to give blood that I\u2019ve actually never had a chance to donate myself,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s something I plan to get to in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cindy Ramirez is the recipient of the Lettie Pate Whitehead Scholarship.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The University of Mary Washington offers several pre-health career tracks and has formal affiliation programs and partnerships with area health career programs, including Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine.
