Brittany Flemming

UConn School of Medicine, Class of 2019

I was born and raised in Columbia, South Carolina. I received degrees in Psychology and Biology from Wofford College in 2015.

As a member of the United States Air Force, I view myself as a servant to our nation. This dedication to service has prompted me to volunteer in several different underserved communities. I have volunteered at the Dorn VA hospital in Columbia as an assistant to several geriatric nurses. Shortly after, I began working as a youth mentor for the Columbia Urban League. I spent my summers teaching a youth-directed skills development curriculum to several underserved communities. During this time I also began assisting in my mother’s missionary missions throughout our community by being a Sunday school teacher at the church my mother was pastor for. I have volunteered at the Department of Juvenile Justice, where I conducted juvenile interviews, administered intelligence tests, and collected patient histories for many of the juveniles in the detention facility.

Many urban areas around our country are heavily populated by retired or discharged military personnel that are on federal and state assistance programs, many of which fail to meet the needs of the aging and growing veteran population. As a member of the Armed Forces and as a future physician, I feel especially driven to serve them, and individuals like them that are in need of better quality healthcare. I believe UST will best provide me with the means of engaging with and caring for such communities.
