Dr. Roman grew up an Air Force dependent so, of course, she joined the Navy on a medical school scholarship. After graduating from the Medical University of South Carolina, she eventually completed a residency in Family Medicine while completing Flight Surgeon training in Pensacola. Dr. Roman served in the Navy for 12 years before completing an interservice transfer to the Public Health Service where she served for 13 years before retiring in 2019. Following retirement, she taught at the South Baldwin Family Medicine Residency for three years before transitioning into her current position in an Outpatient Treatment Center for the treatment of Opioid Use Disorder.
Dr. Roman has been supported by her husband, Norman and her three children, Joshua, Zachary and Madison and their growing families.
