"By personality and training, we are a group that performs well and thrives on positive feedback we get from others. To admit weakness or need flies completely in the face of all that we are. The Center for Women in Medicine creates safe environments where we can share the reality of our needs, and where we can connect with others in an authentic and meaningful way."

“Walking through residency with wise counsel and a safe place to share my fears is refreshing my soul and redefining what it means to embrace my calling as a female physician.”

"Women are natural nourishers, and most enter medical school with great potential for loving their patients well. Yet, the rigorous training process often breeds competition in place of compassion. Connecting with other women in medicine has been vital to recovering and protecting my passion for loving people during these years of training."

Kristina Lishawa, M.D.

Class of '04

"The very least you can do in your life is figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it under its roof."
