{{BLP sources|date=June 2018}}Rose Marie Toussaint is the founder of the American National Transplant Foundation Inc. and surgeon. She is a specialist in organ transplants. Toussaint was born in Haiti and moved to Miami when she was a teenager. Her goal of becoming a physician at this young age was evident by her serious study of math and science coursework. She was awarded her Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Loyola University in 1978. In 1983 she received her Doctorate in Medicine from Howard University.[1]

Toussaint was chief surgeon at Howard University for the liver transplant center. Prior to this, she trained under Thomas Starzl at the University of Pittsburgh Medical School for three years. In 1997, she left Howard University Hospital. She wrote an autobiography, Never Question the Miracle: A Surgeon’s Story, in which she describes the prediction of a Vodun priest who predicted she would be a doctor when she grew up. As founder of the National Transplant Foundation Inc. she works with those that need assistance to defray the cost of organ transplants.
