Ep 48: Dr. Cynthia Armand — Practicing Medicine, Teaching, Podcasting, Activism, Performing: Doing It All and Having a Ball

 


I’m really lucky to know a lot of amazing people.


 


And there are a few that aren’t technically entrepreneurs!


 


Dr. Cynthia Armand is my dear friend from college. We met our
freshman year at the auditions for the prestigious dance troupe
Precision and we were the only two freshmen to get in.


 


We became fast friends and eventually co-directed the dance group
as seniors–something that I am extremely proud of.


 


These days Cynthia is an Assistant Professor of Neurology at
Montefiore-Einstein and the Fellowship Director at the
prestigious Montefiore Headache Center here in NYC. She is on the
founding board of the Society of Haitian Neuroscientists, where
she also serves as Vice President.


 


She is the current web editor at JAMA Neurology and the host of
the JAMA Neurology author interviews podcast. She is also heavily
involved in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion work and headache
education with the American Headache Society.


 


Cynthia is an avid lover of neurology and health news with a
strong interest in patient education as well as social media as a
valuable means of patient empowerment and knowledge.


 


In college, it was clear that Cynthia was always going to be a
doctor. She loved acting and performing but becoming a doctor
always came first. It was exciting to talk with her about how
these two loves came together.
