The Journey of a Urogynecologist: Meet Chidimma Abanulo

Chidimma Abanulo, also known as Chi Chi, was born in Nigeria and grew up in Atlanta, GA. She earned her Bachelor of Science degree with a major in psychology from Duke University in Durham, NC and completed medical school at the Medical College of Georgia.

After completing Ob/Gyn (Obstetrics and Gynecology) and leadership development residencies at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., she completed a medical fellowship in FPMRS (Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery), also known as Urogynecology, at Emory University in Atlanta, GA.

Some key points Chi Chi shares:

1. There's a big difference between learning in high school vs. in college. In high school, you are taught to regurgitate information; in college, you must take various pieces of information, refine it, and make it your own. Learning to learn like an adult can be challenging and takes some getting used to.

2. Even though a university may be prestigious, that doesn't necessarily mean that it will be the best fit for your interests. However, though you may be able to get a much better education in your particular area of interest elsewhere, you also have to take into account the overall college experience you want to have as well.

3. Understanding how to be disciplined and manage your academics and social life while in college is critical, especially if you're planning to attend graduate or professional school afterward.

4. Having mentors is critical. Be sure to seek out mentors even if the mentoring relationship isn't established through an official mentoring program. Unofficial mentors can be just as helpful as mentors you meet through official mentoring programs.
