Allison Weiderhold

Allison is from Virginia and attended the University of Virginia where she majored in Environmental Science. She then completed a Master’s degree in Clinical Research Organization and Management at Drexel University. Before attending medical school, she worked as a Clinical Trial Manager overseeing all clinical operations for two global Phase I clinical trials. Allison began conducting research in congenital cardiac surgery at Children’s National Medical Center while in high school. She is interested in ECMO, improving cardiovascular health inequities, and expanding opportunities for students who do not have cardiothoracic surgery programs at their home academic institutions. When she’s not studying, Allison loves to spend time with her family and two dogs, trying local coffee shops, and knitting. She’s excited to continue to serve on the TSMA leadership council and champion successful mentorship initiatives!
