Carolyn A. Dubeau, MD

PGY IV

Personal Statement:

Dr. Dubeau is currently in her fourth year of training at UT Health San Antonio and plans to pursue Congenital Cardiac Surgery. She finds great joy in the art of cardiac surgery and the art of communication with patients, families, and teammates. Dr. Dubeau is from Orange County, California and grew up hiking, biking, and swimming in the balmy California weather. She traded sun for snow when she began her undergraduate education at Saint Mary’s College, Notre Dame, IN. This all-women’s college education gave her the confidence and support to pursue a career in medicine. She graduated Summa Cum Laude with a BS in Biology in 2016, and moved east to begin medical school at the Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine, Quinnipiac University. In medical school she fell in love with the operating room, and the delicate skill required to practice cardiothoracic surgery. She graduated from Quinnipiac in 2020, and made her way back to a sunny state when she found her new home here in San Antonio, Texas. Dr. Dubeau is an avid runner, triathlete, and musician. After work she is often found on one of the greenway trails training for a race and running along to the beat of her favorite songs. Dr. Dubeau’s academic interests are in communication, education, and the art of story. You can stream her podcast, “Essential Wisdom: Inspiring Future Female Physicians” on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and online at https://www.essentialwisdominspiringphysicians.com/.
