Andrea Milton

Originally from Jackson, Mississippi, Andrea is a junior at the University of Mississippi majoring in Biology with a Chemistry and Spanish minor. She is a member of the Mississippi Rural Physicians Scholarship program and has served as an Academic Guide for Mission Acceleration in Summer and Fall 2021, with plans to also serve Spring 2022. When asked about serving as a tutor while preparing to be a doctor, Andrea had this to say: “In my opinion, being a doctor is much more than being a person who will do check ups and write prescriptions. It has to do with serving your community. As a person who intends to serve in rural and underserved areas, I do so because I have a heart for helping those who may, unfairly, not be able to receive quality care whether it is for educational purposes or health purposes. Everyone deserves and has a right to quality education and healthcare and being a rural physician and Mission Acceleration Academic Guide helps to close the gap!”
