Dr. Lolia Abibo, a native of Nigeria with experiences spanning three countries – Nigeria, Canada, and the United States – graduated with honors from the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada, earning degrees in Biomedical Science and Human Health and Nutritional Science. Continuing her medical education at the University of Kentucky, Dr. Abibo completed a residency in Internal Medicine-Pediatrics at Beaumont Health in Michigan, where she also served as chief medical resident.

Taylor grew up in Little River, TX and completed her undergraduate degree in Biomedical Engineering at Texas A&M University in College Station, TX prior to attending University of North Texas – Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine in Fort Worth, TX. What initially drew Taylor to the Med-Peds Residency Program at MCW was the family feel that was evident even on virtual interviews with residents and leadership who genuinely care about each other. Since then, she’s made Milwaukee home with her husband, daughter, and two dogs. They enjoy Brewers and Bucks games, trying new restaurants with friends, exploring the many outdoor parks and trails in the area, hanging out at the lake, and attending the many festivals.

“MCW has everything I was looking for in a program. Strong categorical experiences on both sides, co-residents who created a home away from home, and leadership who both pushed me to grow and supported me in times of need. As the Chief Resident this year, I’m excited for the opportunity to encourage and advocate for current residents like chiefs before have all done for me!”
