Crystal (Woodside) Joyce, D.O.
('10)
2006 Zinni Scholar
As a high-school athlete, Crystal Joyce
injured her ankle and was treated by osteopathic physicians.
“I loved their hands-on, whole-body
approach,” she says. “They didn’t isolate the disease from
the person.”
A natural leader, Joyce has served as
president of Sigma Sigma Phi, the national honors fraternity
for osteopathic medicine, vice president of the Ob/Gyn Club
and secretary of the Emergency Medicine Club.
Between her active student life and
intensive studies, Joyce finds time to enjoy her newlywed
status. She and her husband, Ryan Joyce, married in 2007.
She says the scholarship has helped ease their financial
strain.
“Words
could never fully explain my gratitude for the Zinni
Scholarship,” she says. “I was amazed when I received the
scholarship the first year of medical school. Now, after
four years, I am even more amazed by the wonderful
relationships I have developed with the foundation board
members.”
Joyce, who will enter a pediatric residency
program at Akron Children’s Hospital next year, is happy to
be back in Northeastern Ohio. “This is where I grew up and
where my family is,” she says, adding, “plus, I love the
Browns and the Indians!”
