Odinae Sullivan is a multifaceted professional with a creative passion for program management and a strong commitment to servant leadership.
Odinae Sullivan’s passion for professional development is rooted in her educational background, having earned a dual Bachelor of Science degrees in Human Development and Family Studies and Psychology. She has further strengthened her expertise through certification coursework in Organizational Development and Leadership from St. Joseph’s University and participation as a WHEA Scholar at Emory University’s Woodruff Health Education Academy. Odinae remains deeply committed to advancing education, learning, and leadership initiatives, with a particular focus on advocating for the GME community and the workforce that drives program success.
Currently, Odinae serves as a Program Coordinator at Emory University School of Medicine, bringing more than a decade of experience in graduate medical education. With eight years dedicated to Obstetrics & Gynecology residency programs, she offers both deep subject-matter expertise and a strong operational foundation. Since joining Emory’s Graduate Medical Education team in 2020, she has excelled in dual roles as a GME Program Coordinator and a non-ACGME Program Manager.
In her second year at Emory, Odinae channeled her passion for service and community-building into leading the GME Program Coordinator Professional Development (PCPD) Task Force. Through this initiative, she works to strengthen the Emory GME community by enhancing the coordinator experience through structured education, accessible resources, and meaningful connection. The PCPD Task Force’s mission is to develop a comprehensive professional development platform that supports the evolving needs, responsibilities, and functions of Emory’s Program Coordinator community. Its goals include formalizing orientation processes; creating ongoing professional development opportunities; standardizing GME trainings; fostering mentorship; promoting wellness and effective coping strategies; and establishing a strong network of support with accessible resources.
Outside of her professional responsibilities, Odinae is a devoted wife and mother to her 5‑year‑old son, who is her inspiration and the light of her world. She volunteers with several organizations dedicated to advocating children’s rights and expanding access to medical resources for children with special needs, a cause close to her heart.
One of her favorite Jamaican sayings is: “Mi likkle but mi tallawah” tells us that size is not the same as strength.
