Member Spotlight: Dr. Roma Amin

Posted By Columbus Medical Association - CMA, Thursday, May 15, 2025

Roma P. Amin, MD, is a family medicine physician at OhioHealth.

What inspired you to pursue a career in medicine?

When I was younger, I wanted to be a physician because I loved science and helping people. I try my best to be the person who I wrote about in my personal statement. I still love medicine and find joy in making it more accessible to my patients in a non-judgmental way. And, maybe now, I see that people don't necessarily need to be helped, but rather, they need a partner with whom to navigate the healthcare system and sit with them as they ride the waves of life.

What are your areas of clinical/professional interest?

I'm passionate about health equity, especially for patients and communities that are not centered in our current healthcare systems, reproductive justice, graduate medical education, full-spectrum family medicine, and community-based care.

What's one thing you'd like your colleagues to know about you or your work? 

I often get the sense when I'm with my physician colleagues that we are struggling with loneliness, especially since COVID. It has taken me a long time to build a genuine community in Columbus, and even that isn't perfect some days! If any of that resonates with anyone reading this, feel free to reach out to me at roma.p.amin@gmail.com. I'm always down to grab a coffee or a meal.

When you’re not working, how do you like to spend your free time?

I enjoy reading, spending time with friends/family, and seeing live music.

You provided a story about your experience with a patient during COVID that was included in the “Heroes Behind the Mask” book. Why did you think it was important to share this experience?

The patient whose story I shared was really special to me. She had been with me since the beginning of my intern year. I hoped that by sharing her story, I could honor her life and all that she taught me.

Changing Lives Through Compassionate Care: Join PCC’s Volunteer Team

Posted By Columbus Medical Association - CMA, Thursday, May 1, 2025

Physicians CareConnection (PCC) volunteers are truly making a difference in the lives of those most in need in our community, and we need more help! PCC’s Center for Optimal Health provides coordinated medical care for vulnerable populations in Central Ohio. Volunteer physicians and other healthcare professionals provide medical, dental, and mental health services to dozens of patients each week.

In April, our incredible team provided the first urology, cardiology, and phlebotomy services since the center opened in its new location in December 2024. More help is always needed--currently, the biggest area of need is for primary care. The center has a wait list of 70 patients who need a primary care appointment. 

Volunteers can choose how they see patients—at the center or in their own office. If you’re interested in volunteering, please complete the volunteer form.

All other services are provided at The PCC Center for Optimal Health is located at 1390 Dublin Road and is open Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm. Appointments are required. Dental services take place at Columbus Public Health at 240 Parsons Avenue on the first and third Tuesdays of the month by appointment.

Find much more information about the center and services on the PCC website.

Book Group Night Focuses on Trailblazing Women in Medicine

Posted By Columbus Medical Association - CMA, Friday, April 18, 2025

CMA’s Women-in-Medicine group spent their April meet-up discussing the book “Women in White Coats: How the First Women Doctors Changed the World of Medicine.

Community Chair Lisa Borkowski, MD, said the group had an open and honest dialogue about the uphill climb women have faced in medicine. “We also discussed some of the challenges women face today in balancing a demanding career and their personal life. I loved our conversation so much and think a book club would be great for the future,” said Dr. Borkowski.

CMA CEO Tracy Davidson was struck by the multi-generational group that gathered and the importance of this community of women to one another. “One of our newest physicians, a resident, noted how impactful having a supportive group of friends had been to her mental health and well-being during medical school/residency,” said Tracy.

Women-in-Medicine will hold their final meet-up before a summer break on Monday, May 12, with a nature hike at Highbanks Metro Park. Get more information and registered here.
