LEADS TO SUCCESS FOR
PEMBROKE NATIVE AMERICAN
Tom Maynor realized he warned
to become a doctor the day before his
college graduation He wasa't
prepared far the revelation In fact,
the doctstoa to go to medical school
prompted him to scramble for more
information the day before his
graduation march
1 was a little behind.' recalled
thePfembroke native. "But I called
the UNC School of Medicine to find
out what I needed to do "
As a result of his initial call.
Maynor was given a list of thing* he
would have to accomplish over the
next four wears before applying to
medical school, one of which was to
secure a master's degree in the UNC
School of Public Health
"I had to prove to them that I
could do the work." said Maynor.
whose undergraduate experience
started at East Carolina University in
1983 and ended at Pembroke State
University in 1988. "After two and a
half years. I left East Carolina with a
1.7 grade point average." he said
"My grades at Pembroke State
University were good, but the>
couldn't bring my average up to a
competitive level for admission to
medical school. Basically.they (UNC
School of Medicine! gave me the
weekend to decide whether or not I
was willing to take the courses
necessary to bring me up to speed "
The day after graduation Mavnor
made the call that jump-started his
medical career.
After graduating from Pembroke
State University with a bachelor's
degree in chemistrv. Maynor set out
to tackle the laundry list of tasks thai
would prepare him for admission io
medical school First, he spent the
summer of'88al UNC-CH completing
foreign language requirements and
was given permission lo observe
classes in die Medical Education
Development (MED) Program
sponsored by the school After two
years he (.mnplctedl a hrtflof of
science degree hi imtillum and in
1992eareedhismaster'sdegree from
the UNC School of Public Health
"I'a glad I took the medical
school's advice." May nor said
"Looking back, it r*ftt sense for me
to take the route I did If I had not
gottea into medical school, the
master sdegme in public health would
have definitefr given me an advantage
in the job market."
Now in his second year at the Eatf
Carolina University School of
Medicine. Maynor is realizing a dream
that began to nicker in his mind when
he was in high school Maynor
remembered a close friend's
motorcycle accidsnt where he was
first on the scene.
" I was there immediately after he
wrecked." Maynor recalled "I knew
he wasn't in a life-threatening
situation, so while we were waiting oo
the ambulance. I found m vseIf looking
at and into the wounds on his legs, and
I wasn't getting sick. I remember that
being \ery wend
"A few years later when I was a
junior. I attended a health careers
workshop at East Carolina sponsored
by the North Carolina Health Careen
Access Program at UNC-CH I
remember going into a cadaver lab
and being the only kid in the class who
was checking out the bodies in the
cooler That didn't bother me either. I
guess then I figured a health career
probably would be a good choice! "
When asked whether or not he
plans to return to Pembroke after
completing medical school. Maynor
said. " Absolutely' The words of his
grandfather still ring true in his ears
'' You can goolf and improve yourself,
be successful.'' his grandfather once
toid him. ' but unless vou come home
and help your own people, what good
will it do vou?"
Maynor is looking forward to
eventually returning to Robeson
County to practice family medicine
"I'm ready to take advantage of this
opponunitv." Mavnor said. "I tell
students all the time >o look ?wnl
their. > vk ncomm unities, at the doctors,
nurses. or anyone in the health
profession*, and art how many of
them am Indiana. Thar* an vary few.
Then I ask them. of the people
they know who became phvatchma.
on. how many returned 10 their
communMea to work? Not many
That's why it's so important to me.

he's a perfect example of the succeas
one can achieve by setting goals and
datomtnaHon*01*' I,rentIth
"i don't think I'm any smarter
than the average student, he said.
* 'I'm <U Amtwlo >wU thw ^
I m ociin?icfv notroetypicai siuuent
It took me five years and two
umvanhtasto flaiah my imdsnpndusie
degree. Than afean I decided to po to
medical school, it meant an extra year
to earn another undergraduate degree
and a few more years to pet my
master 's. AM that before I even applied
to medical school
"Three years hum now when I
graduate. I'll be called Or Mayttor
The peraoa who went directly into
medical school from college is also
called Doctor The pursuit may be
different, but the outcome is the ?
s&mc *"
So how does it feel to have come
this far '
"My father made it to the twelfth
grade but didn't graduate." Maynor
said "Mfmother made it to the eighth
grade but later completed her GEO
when I was in high school. I was the
first in my family to goto college and
the first to graduate from college
Now. I'm just a few veers away from
becoming a family physician That's
a great feeling."
