“A great physician is not measured by the number of publications or how fast you become a professor or the awards you have received. A great physician is measured by people saying (not in your presence)‘I want to send my mom to this person.’ That to me is a great physician” TC

Unfortunately, when female oncologists choose to start a family they are less likely to take on leadership roles, be senior authors or be invited to speak nationally or internationally. This needs to change.
#womenempowerment
Women in medicine need to hear that we can still have fulfilling, successful careers even if we have children during training. We don't have to wait until our training is over to start our families.

Quitting smoking lowers the risk for many cancers.
Quitting smoking and staying away from tobacco smoke lowers your chance of getting cancer in many places throughout your body—not just your lungs.
