Dr. August graduated from a magnet school in Houston, Texas-the High School for Health Professions. I then attended the University of Texas at Austin where I was Pre-Med and graduated in 1992 with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology. My college sweetheart and I were married in June 1992 and soon moved to Galveston, Texas so I could begin my medical training at the University of Texas Medical School-Galveston. I received my medical degree in 1996 and began my pediatric residency training at the Children’s Hospital in Galveston. Needless to say, I became great at multitasking and juggling work, family, and friends. I completed my pediatric training in 1999 and moved to Temple, Texas where I practiced General Pediatrics for two years.
