Fayetteville, NC — Alison P. Belliveau (Cullin), DO, is
being recognized by Continental Who's Who as a Distinguished Healthcare
Professional for outstanding service in Medicine and in acknowledgment of her
work with UNC Health Southeastern.
Dr. Belliveau began her work with UNC Health Southeastern in
2020 where she served in Family Medicine, a medical specialty where patients
are first seen for their health concerns and preventative medical care, until
2022. Beginning later in 2022, she will begin an Emergency Medicine residency
at Inspira Mullica Hill.
She first dreamed of becoming a veterinarian and working
with animals as a young girl. However, she took a human anatomy and physiology
class during high school, which sparked her interest in becoming a doctor for
human patients.
In pursuit of her higher education, Dr. Belliveau obtained a
Bachelor of Science in Physiology in 2015 from the University of Arizona. She
first began work inside a hospital during her undergraduate studies, serving as
a medical transcriptionist for Scribe America within an emergency services
department. At UA, she was a Gamma Beta Phi Honors Society member and the
university's ballroom dance team.
She continued her education at Geisinger Commonwealth School
of Medicine, where she earned a Master's degree in Biomedical Sciences in 2016.
She went on to the College of Osteopathic Medicine at Midwestern
University-Arizona, where she earned her Doctor of Osteopathy degree in 2020.
While in medical school, she served for a year as a teacher's assistant in the
anatomy lab.
In addition to practicing medicine, Dr. Belliveau has
co-written a peer-reviewed article focusing on pupillary light reflex,
published in 2020. She is also working on a children's book and a chapter book.
She prides herself on her dedication to her chosen field, a
trait that she feels was most inspired in her by her parents. She dedicates
this honorable recognition with special thanks to her mother Ronna Belliveau
and sister Deborah Mat. Dr. Belliveau, soon to be Dr. Cullin, got married in
January 2022 to her husband who is also dedicated to the emergency medicine
field. As she begins her Emergency Medicine Residency, Dr. Belliveau is
considering further training in Critical Care Medicine as she looks to the
future.
