Advocating for Women’s Healthcare

Physicians can better advocate for women’s health by seeing patients in their entirety, not just as body parts. In any specialty, doctors need to look out for the whole person. Majority of the time, women receive excellent healthcare only when they are pregnant. Young girls feel confused about the changes in their body while older women feel discarded after menopause. Women typically take on a caregiving role. So when they are healthy and supported, the rest of the population will be too.

Tips for Starting Your Medical Journey

In everything you do, always remember why you started. Write down your why and remind yourself of it on a daily basis. Your reasons for going into medicine cannot be superficial, they have to be meaningful to help get you through this long journey. It should motivate you to push on despite the challenges.

Stay focused on what you have to do. Envision your end goal and then do things that will help you achieve that. It’s important to keep your mind sharp by continuously learning. There will be a lot of distractions along the way. To succeed, you need to be able to resist those. Taking breaks is important, but don’t sacrifice your dream for a few fleeting moments of fun.
