Set on becoming a doctor from the age of 14, she credits the fulfillment of her lifelong dream to her passion for her profession and a genuine desire to care for others.

Dr. Dix earned her MD from the University of Illinois. She completed an internship at the University of Florida and during her time there was the only woman in its surgery residency program.
