    Ep. 120 An All-Female Panel of Physicians, A Med Student, and the ACMS' Executive Director Discuss Women's Health & The (new) Women in Healthcare Committee

    Tressa sits down with a panel of phenomenal women to discuss women's health - specifically heart health - and the ACMS' newly-formed Women in Healthcare Committee. They chat about all of that and so much more, including work/life balance, the challenges facing female physicians, and the importance of support and mentorship (and they laugh a whole lot too). This is a valuable conversation for women of all ages - and for men too!
