Rodeline Joseph is Physician Assistant-turned-Tech Entrepreneur, who recently launched Medsembly, an Atlanta-based startup on a mission to digitally connect healthcare students with qualified mentors in their respective fields.

For background, Rodeline's family migrated from Haiti to Florida when she was a young child. As a first-generation college student pursuing an intensive career in healthcare and a student of color, she felt lost and struggled academically (went from being straight-A high school student to scoring only Cs and Ds on college exams, leading her to question her abilities). Like others, she persevered and eventually prevailed, but a decade later, she believes that unfortunately, not much has changed for those aspiring students who may not have savvy connections established.

Rodeline has since dedicated her life to helping students who are interested in becoming Physician Assistants, doctors, nurses, and pharmacists by forming relationships with professionals who’ve been there and are still doing it today. Medsembly is an interactive app platform that invites students to share resources, receive tips and tricks for maximizing their educational experiences, and meet working professionals who offer real-world advice to help them achieve their unique goals. Rodeline is also addressing the healthcare labor shortage by helping to strengthen the talent pool of next-gen workers.

Dr. Vaughan spent decades working as an EMT/Paramedic in emergency departments, trauma centers, and as a first responder. Eventually he realized his passion was in holistic medicine and he retired as a firefighter to go back to school for integrative medicine. Now he is an NCCAOM National Board Certified Diplomate of Oriental Medicine and licensed Acupuncture Physician.

He specializes in movement and sports medicine, leveraging his knowledge and experience as both an athlete and a coach. For years, he competed in CrossFit and in the Firefighter Combat Challenge, so he knows what it means to strive for health and wellness as an athlete and what it requires to recover from injury. He has had his fair share of injuries, and can relate to what most of his patients are going through!

He enjoys working with athletes and providing healthcare to help them achieve their goals, maintain wellness, and recover from injury and trauma to perform at their best. However, his practice is not exclusive to athletes because injuries and the need for mobility are not exclusive to athletes. His background and certifications emphasize movement and mobility, which can be a concern for anyone at any age.

Dr. Joshua Pickell is a Chiropractor serving the community of Los Angeles. He graduated Cum Laude from Life Chiropractic College West with a Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) degree in 2020. Chiropractic school gave him an opportunity to learn all about the art, science, and philosophy of chiropractic medicine. Coming from a science background, Dr. Josh was especially interested in learning more about the impact that spinal misalignments have on the anatomy and physiology of the body and the art of correcting them. In the time since, he has seen chiropractic adjustments work wonders for people who had already tried everything else. He sees chiropractic visits as an essential component of a healthy, optimal life.

Dr. Josh believes he can make the world a better place by helping people better express health. When people are healthy, their relationships, wealth, fulfillment, and sense of purpose also improve. Health is largely a product of our daily habits and actions, so a holistic view taking everything into account is the best way to achieve and maintain good health. Being healthy is not just about being free of disease, it is only achieved when your body, spirit, and mind are free of interference and work together.
