Hellen Edwards Hear my name
MD Student
Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine




Hellen Edwards always had a medical career in mind, but other opportunities cropped up. For financial and personal reasons, the Hawaii native joined Reserve Officers’ Training Corps as a freshman chemistry major at BU. Now 34 and an Air Force major, Edwards is returning to BU with 10 years active duty behind her including postings in Montana, Okinawa and Washington, D.C., where she led monitoring efforts related to biological threats and weapons of mass destruction.

“That desire to practice medicine never really left me,” said Edwards. “After all these other experiences I came back to medicine and serving people. That’s where my heart is.”
