Hear it in her own words; hit play!
“I serve because I believe strongly that we have a voice and physicians should use their voice to basically promote health for patients. So when I think about how to ensure quality and safety care for the patients that we have with this evolving new medical information coming our way, I think of making mastery, making sure that we’re keeping up. How do we signal to the public that we’re keeping up, to each other, and to ourselves? So I think I believe that I serve because there are good ways to do that and we have an impact that we can make in making sure that our diplomates are keeping up, and that’s why I serve.”
