Shelia Bouldin, MD
Dr. Bouldin is an Associate Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Women's Health Division, and also serves as the Ob/Gyn Residency Program Director at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. Dr. Bouldin is also a member of the Hinds County Study Location Community Advisory Board. We interviewed Dr. Bouldin to get to know her better and this is what we discovered:
What is your patient care philosophy?
My philosophy on patient care is to listen to all of my patients while
treating everyone with compassion and respect.
What inspires you to be involved with the
National Children’s Study?
I was inspired to become involved with the National Children's Study when
I realized the potential impact it could have on the overall health and quality
of life of future generations. Having grown up in Mississippi and practicing
medicine in Mississippi I have seen first-hand countless lives affected by
preventable illnesses. I am very hopeful that the NCS can be instrumental in
improving health related outcomes across generations.
What are some of the major challenges to
children’s health that you feel we are facing here in Hinds County and throughout
the nation?
Obesity is one of the biggest problems facing children across our state
and the nation. We see obesity-related morbidity starting at very young ages.
How do you see the National Children’s Study benefiting your patients?
My patients will
benefit from participating or being a part of this landmark study by knowing
that they could have a tremendous impact on the lives of so many people. They
can become champions for better health and a better quality of life.
Where do you see the National Children’s Study
in 5 years?
Five years from now not only will the National Children's Study be a
common household name, every citizen will be volunteering to participate. Five
years from now we will probably have a better understanding or information on
environmental factors that impact our children's lives.
