I had a great live session answering questions with Touro COM's AMWA chapter and I answered questions like: 1. To start off, this past year and a half we have been involved in probably the most severe pandemic we have seen in modern human history and many of our healthcare workers, including yourself, had to be on the front lines. How did this impact you as a physician and has it changed your perspective of your career? Tune in to hear the answer!

In this episode I break down the story of my first job interview and how I had to overcome the boys club by self promoting. Many women find it very difficult to talk about accomplishments, especially during an interview. You're not alone. This is because you have been told since you were a little girl that you should not be boastful. This is not unfounded. You're right, because we've heard over and over again that strong women are perceived as bitches in the workplace. Successful women are considered less likable. You'll learn all about the self promotion gap, and how to combat it!

This week I talk with Trauma Surgeon, Dr. Reza Kermani about his journey through the machismo surgical culture and how his gay sexual orientation as a middle eastern man caused him to make certain residency choices, that interestingly, never limited him in becoming a top tier surgeon. His go getter attitude will leave you inspired!

I talk with Dr. Kimi Caswell about her early dental career years. She said "I met with several dentists and orthodontists and they were gracious enough to take me to lunch, but they were defining my role for me. You know, you should be a wife, you should have children. You shouldn't try to open an office. You should practice one day a week." Sound familiar?

In this episode, I answer a listener's question. Dear Female Doc, I failed to get into medical school for the second year in a row. I just know that it's my dream and I want to give it one more try, but I don't know if I'm actually smart enough for it right now. I'm lost. Please help! Should I apply again or just forget it?

In this episode, I break down all the details of what it's like being a traveling doctor, how you can be one too, and all the pros and cons. The traveling doctor field is also called Locum Tenans.

I talk with Dr. Stephanie Woelfel DPT about the taking the time to get to know yourself, so you can really find true balance. She had THE plan in her head. You know, where it's like, okay, I'm done with school and I got a job and now I'm going to get married and I'm going to buy a house, and all of these things that society or just the way you grew up, kind of tells you is the order.

Both of us have similar paths in that we kind of thought our careers and life was going to go a certain way and then it didn't, but in the most beautifully "wrong" way that we thought it was supposed to go.

I wonder, do you feel the same?
