Anna Haymov, B.S., D.O Candidate
Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM)
Anna grew up in the Golan Heights with her younger sister, in a multicultural household with an American mother and a Russian father. This diverse background shaped her perspective on the world and ignited her passion for bridging cultural gaps and helping others.
Anna pursued her academic journey at the University of Florida, where she earned her first degree in neuroscience with honors. During her time at the university, she actively participated in research at the McKnight Brain Institute, focusing on how decision-making patterns change in males and females with age, using Fisher rats as a model. This research allowed Miss Haymov to deepen her understanding of the brain’s complexities and its influence on human behavior.
Currently, Miss Haymov is attending LECOM, where she continues her medical education while shadowing and working with Dr. Mills at his clinic. Her experience in the medical field extends beyond the classroom, as she has volunteered at various organizations and events. Miss Haymov has contributed to Musalaha, an organization focused on reconciliation between Palestinians and Israelis, and Beit Sar Shalom, where she participated in events supporting Holocaust survivors. She also volunteered at Helping Hands in Florida, assisting in building homes for the underprivileged. Throughout medical school, Miss Haymov has furthered her commitment to service by volunteering at athletic events as a first aid provider, demonstrating her dedication to the well-being of others.
In addition to her work in healthcare, Miss Haymov has gained valuable career experience as a park ranger, where she developed a deep appreciation for the natural world and honed her skills in public service and environmental conservation. This role allowed her to engage with the community, educate the public about nature, and ensure the preservation of local parks and wildlife.
Miss Haymov’s career journey has been diverse, starting as a scribe in the emergency department during her undergraduate years, where she gained invaluable experience in the fast-paced world of healthcare. In terms of research, she has made notable contributions, publishing a paper that discusses the difference between craniectomies and craniotomies in treating Acute Subdural Hematomas (ASDH) and is currently working on a retrospective study about Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) success rates.
Miss Haymov’s passion for both medicine and helping others, combined with her academic and volunteer experiences, has shaped her into a compassionate and driven individual, dedicated to making meaningful contributions to the medical field and the communities she serves.
