| DR. BAUMAN'S BIO |
 |
Dr. Mary Ann Bauman received her medical degree
from Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan in 1978. For nine
years, she served in a variety of teaching, practice, and administrative
positions on medical school faculties including Wayne State University,
the University of South Dakota, and the University of Oklahoma. In 1991,
she joined Baptist Medical Center, which later became INTEGRIS Health
Inc. as Medical Director of the Women’s Center and is now the Medical
Director for Women’s Health and Community Relations. She is board
certified in Internal Medicine and maintains an active primary care
practice.
Dr. Bauman is a popular speaker with both men and women’s groups. She is
a motivator and her passion is contagious! Dr. Bauman provides medical
information without the confusing medical jargon, to help the audience
easily understand what can be very complex topics.
Her mantra, “insight is not enough,” helps the audience realize that
they need to actually change behavior not just understand the concepts.
Dr. Bauman always provides practical tips and welcomes Q&A. Her
experience answering viewer medical questions on television since 1993,
has provided her with a broad range of information on a wide variety of
healthcare topics. Her comments on energy, fatigue, and preventive
health issues have appeared in national publications including
Cosmopolitan, Health, Family Circle, and WebMD.
Dr. Bauman frequently uses humor to emphasize her points and is a strong
advocate for healthy living. In the early 1990’s, she became convinced
of the importance of a healthy lifestyle and the power of the Mind-Body
connection and has melded these two concepts into her presentations. Dr.
Bauman regularly speaks for the American Heart Association and currently
serves as the president of the Oklahoma City Affiliate, a position she
also held in 2001. Dr. Bauman was appointed to the six-state Heartland
Affiliate Board in 2005 and served on the task force to establish the
new South Central Affiliate in 2007. She is heavily involved in the
AHA’s “Go Red For Women” initiative.
Dr. Bauman is the author of Fight Fatigue—Six Simple Steps to Maximize
Your Energy (Tate Publishing, 2005). This book helps women tackle the
all-too-common problem of feeling run down and tired. After all, fatigue
is the #1 reason women visit their doctors. Dr. Bauman offers a novel,
easy approach to maximizing energy that is designed to fit into the
busiest of schedules. She has several different presentations based on
Fight Fatigue —all including stories about women who have won the energy
battle and those who still struggle. Dr. Bauman emphasizes taking action
to identify and eliminate one’s personal energy thieves. Since its
release, Dr Bauman has been featured on radio programs throughout the
United States and Canada and has found that men, too, are responding
favorably to her energy plan. Although Fight Fatigue does target women,
her presentations on the Mind-Body connection, heart disease and
preventive health topics are equally enjoyed by both men and women.
In 1993, Dr. Bauman pioneered a program called “On Your Own”™ which
focuses on health issues facing teens. She uses a question-and-answer
format to speak frankly with our youth about the risks of pregnancy,
sexually transmitted diseases and other important healthcare topics. By
the end of one of her sessions, teens leave with a true understanding
that abstinence is the only sure way to avoid these diseases. This
program has reached tens of thousands of students and remains in demand.
Dr. Bauman is featured daily on Oklahoma’s KWTV, the CBS affiliate, and
has been syndicated nationally. Previously, she was a regular on KFOR,
the NBC affiliate in Oklahoma City, and KELO, the CBS affiliate in Sioux
Falls, South Dakota. She also serves on the Editorial Board of Medical
Economics magazine
Dr. Bauman is married and with her husband, Barton Dawson has a blended
family of three children and one grandchild. She resides in Edmond,
Oklahoma a suburb of Oklahoma City. |
