Dr. Keilin received her college degree at Yale University, graduating with the distinction Magna Cum Laude. She then went on to the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, and graduated with the honor of membership in the Alpha Omega Alpha society, an honor reserved for the top graduates of each medical school class.
