Bailey Allen

Class of 2017
Hometown: Whiteville, NC

Bailey Allen, of Whiteville, NC, graduated in May 2017 with a degree in Biology and a minor in Public Health. Bailey will begin medical school this fall at the UNC Chapel Hill’s School of Medicine and is also considering pursuing a Master of Public Health degree. After earning an MD, he plans to remain in North Carolina to practice medicine in underserved regions of the state and advocate for making healthcare more accessible and affordable. As a part of the Levine Scholars Program, Bailey interned with Care Ring in Charlotte; the Columbus County Health Department in Whiteville, NC; and with Victoria Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa. Through these opportunities he was able to gain first-hand experience working directly with patient populations across rural and urban settings, both domestic and abroad. “I am confident that the knowledge and experiences I gained through my summer internships shaped my perception of patient-centered care on both a local and global scale. These skills will directly contribute to my future success as a physician and advocate for those in need.” During his time at UNC Charlotte, Bailey was involved with undergraduate research in Dr. Pinku Mukherjee’s lab. He was also involved with various student organizations on campus, most notably serving as president of Alpha Epsilon Delta Pre-Health Honor Society. “My time UNC Charlotte was unlike anything I could have imagined before enrolling in college. I am confident that this University fosters excellence among its students, and I am proud to be a part of the 49er family for life.”
