VIDEO: Scrub Sisters founder advises to ‘surround yourself with women who lift you up’

CHICAGO — In this Healio video exclusive, Jacqueline Winkelmann, MD, FAAP, discusses the value of the Women in Medicine Summit and shares career and life advice.

“I believe it’s so important to have these meetings, specifically for women in medicine, so we can have a safe and supportive space to share not only our experiences but our challenges,” Winkelmann, founder of Scrub Sisters, said. “Surround yourself with women that lift you up. Always find a mentor to guide you and support you along your career and your personal life. And, also, I really believe that trying to achieve work-life balance throughout a career in medicine is impossible and not an expectation that is realistic.”
