Global Women's Health Faculty

Dr. Lindsey Zamora’s interest in global health and cultural studies started before she entered the field of medicine. She completed her undergraduate degree in Anthropology at the University of Florida and during this time, she studied abroad in Tanzania and Brazil.  She then completed medical school at the University of Florida and went on to residency training at the University of Florida and Baylor College of Medicine. During medical school, she led an ongoing mission trip to the Dominican Republic providing care for rural areas of the country. In residency, she had the opportunity to rotate in Zambia working with midwives leading safe delivery training workshops. 

After residency, Dr. Zamora completed a fellowship in Global Women’s Health through University Hospitals/Case Medical Center in partnership with University of Guyana and Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation. During this time, she helped establish the first Ob-Gyn training program in the country. The program was developed with the goals of training local specialists and leaders in Ob-Gyn in the country of Guyana to reduce the country’s maternal mortality rate.  Dr. Zamora lived in Guyana for two years during her fellowship and helped to graduate the country’s first specialists in Ob-Gyn. After her fellowship’s completion, she then continued her work from the United States as an Assistant Residency Program Director for the program.  During this time, Dr. Zamora earned her Master of Public Health from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Dr. Zamora’s specific global health interests are maternal mortality reduction, global health education, capacity building in low and middle income countries, and care for immigrant and refugee populations.

Dr. Robinson was born and raised in New Orleans, LA and did her undergraduate studies at the University of Virginia. After college, the goal of becoming bilingual pulled her to Argentina where she was an ESL teacher for a year. Ultimately, she decided to return to the US to pursue a degree in medicine. Throughout medical school at LSUHSC and residency at VUMC, Dr. Robinson has been interested in underserved populations and immigrant communities. Growing up with a mother who immigrated from Colombia at the age of 10, she is specifically passionate about the Latino community and the hardships they, and other immigrants, face when relocating to an unknown country with language barriers. 

Dr. Robinson has traveled to the Andes mountains of Peru on multiple trips and led a group of medical students to India to care for Tibetan refugees.  More recently, she has travels to Kenya as part of the longstanding relationship VUMC has with Kijabe Hospital.  Dr. Robinson hopes to form partnerships worldwide as an OBGYN to make a sustainable, appropriate impact where care is needed, and take those lessons home and apply them to her local community.
