Today, we celebrate the incredible contributions of women in medicine – their dedication, resilience, and unwavering commitment to patient care.
For generations, women have faced unique challenges navigating the medical field, and their perseverance has not only enriched the profession but also fundamentally reshaped health care for the better.
To mark this important day, women physicians from Dignity Health Medical Group — Dominican, share some advice to women interested in medicine.
Let’s celebrate their achievements and continue to empower the next generation of women physicians!
Anne-Marie Jackson, MD
OB/GYN
“I am the first woman in my family to get a college education out of high school, and medicine was in my future from early childhood when I created a hospital ward for my dolls and gave them all IVs and charts at the foot of the bed! My mother was my biggest champion and made sure my education was top priority, and supported me every step of the way. If medicine is your calling, pursue it in spite of any obstacle. You bring your unique skills and talents as a healer above all else, and medicine needs that now more than ever.”
Sunita Singh, MD
Infectious Disease Specialist
“Being a physician is an honor and a privilege as you have an opportunity to make a significant impact in a person’s life! To all aspiring women physicians…follow your dreams, passions, don’t restrict yourself in what you are capable of accomplishing!”
