Jordan Halsey
Jordan Halsey graduated from Lee in 2010 with a degree in biochemistry. Since then, she completed medical school and a residency in plastic and reconstructive surgery and currently works as a Pediatric Craniofacial Surgery Fellow at Ohio State University. “My premedical years at Lee University were very formative in preparing me for medical school and a career as a reconstructive plastic surgeon,” said Jordan. “Not only were the classes engaging, the faculty in the natural science and math department provided excellent mentorship throughout my time at Lee.” While at Lee, Jordan had the opportunity to travel on two medical missions trips- one with Campus Choir to Ecuador and another with the natural science and math department to Guatemala. According to her, those trips gave her valuable experience in a clinical setting prior to medical school and also served as an important foundation for her career as a reconstructive plastic surgeon.
