Sara Kiparizoska

Medical Student at University of Mississippi Medical Center

Sara Kiparizoska is a medical professional who has made significant strides in both her academic and personal life. She graduated from the University of Mississippi Medical Center with a Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree in 2020.4 Currently, she serves as the Chief Resident in Internal Medicine.4

Sara's journey is particularly noteworthy as she immigrated to the United States from Macedonia with her family in 2002, just before Independence Day.1 At the age of 9, she quickly adapted to her new environment, learning English and eventually developing a Southern accent.1

Throughout her academic career, Sara has demonstrated exceptional abilities:

  1. She graduated from West Jones High School in Laurel, Mississippi.1
  2. She earned a scholarship to the University of Mississippi, where she was part of the Honors College.1
  3. She completed her bachelor's degree in biochemistry.12
  4. In August 2016, at the age of 23, Sara and her family proudly became U.S. citizens.1

Beyond her medical pursuits, Sara has shown entrepreneurial spirit. In 2015, she co-founded a business app called Curtsy, which allows college students to rent formalwear to and from their peers.12 This venture was so successful that it was selected for the prestigious Y Combinator program in Silicon Valley in 2016.2

Sara's colleagues describe her as a natural in the medical field, with one fellow student noting her impressive performance in clinical skills workshops.1 She has also been recognized for her hard work and kindness, serving as a class liaison and negotiating on behalf of her classmates.1

As of January 2025, Sara is likely in the final stages of her residency or potentially starting her career as a full-fledged physician, given that she was listed as a PGY-4 (Post-Graduate Year 4) resident at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in a previous year.3
