Dr. O’Sullivan is a native of Grand Coteau who found her love of Family Medicine in the book, The Essentials of Family Medicine.  She continued, “My interest began with a book, The Essentials of Family Medicine, which I found in a cart of free books sitting outside my graduate school library. In it, I discovered a comprehensive, generalist approach to medicine that resonated profoundly with my past experiences, personal beliefs and professional aspirations. I had decided to apply to medical school by that time, but it was only after that point that I began to visualize a path forward as a physician, especially as a person who did not identify as a “science person” at all before.  The philosophy of family practice just fits who I am and how I think.”
