Biography
LYNN P. ROPPOLO, M. D. was born in Inglewood, California to a large Catholic Filipino family, the youngest of six children. Shortly after high school, she pursued a degree in nursing and briefly worked as an Intensive Care Nurse (ICU). She went on to medical school at the University of California, San Diego where she met her husband of almost 14 years. She did a 4-year Emergency Medicine residency at the George Washington University in Washington, DC. Her mini-fellowship during her residency focused on disaster medicine and pre-hospital care. She joined the Emergency Medicine faculty at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in July, 2002 and currently serves as the Associate Residency Program Director. Dr. Roppolo works clinically in the Emergency Department at Parkland Hospital and Children's Hospital where she feels the patients, medical students, and residents make her job worthwhile. Dr. Roppolo's primary research interests have been in the area of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training. Currently, most of her academic time is spent doing residency related activities. Dr. Roppolo spends most of her free time with her husband Mark and their four children. She gave birth to their first son in November 2004 and healthy triplets in October 2006.
