Women Medical Students, Residents

Mentors come sparse in Medicine. My goal is to encourage a mindset that will help physicians assure the following goals for healthcare: 1. CEO’s should be selected by patients and employees, not by hospital boards 2. All healthcare related business should be non-for-profit, including insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies 3. Insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies should have caps on prices and everyone should pay the same price, regardless of whether they are a single individual, a family, or a company 4. Veteran hospitals should function with the same care for patients as any other hospital and be subject to getting sued just the same 5. CEOs should implement a culture of honesty, hard work, dedication to patients and transparency. They should be re-evaluated every so often by the above mentioned electors As physicians, we need to take a leadership position in the world of Healthcare and assure that our patients are given the most fair, best care possible. As a woman, I call to all young women in Medicine to Lean In.
