Central Piedmont alumna Kedeja Adams was at the bottom of her Myers Park graduating class, but she was determined to make an impact.
While enrolled in Central Piedmont’s Medical Assisting program, she met her mentor, Dr. Kellye Hall, who suggested she go to medical school. She took Kellye’s advice and enrolled at North Carolina A&T after graduating from Central Piedmont. She later graduated from A&T and matriculated to UNC Chapel Hill’s Medical School, where she graduated with her doctorate on May 14, 2021.
Dr. Adams hopes her story influences people who may be in a difficult situation and give them the motivation they need to believe in themselves. She begins her residency at Johns Hopkins in obstetrics and gynecology soon.
