Welcome back to MDTribe! This week I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Rocio Salas-Whalen, Triple Board Certified Physician in Endocrinology, Obesity, and Diabetes! Dr. Salas-Whalen is originally from Mexico, where she completed her medical education. She came to the United States as an international medical student and completed the board examinations necessary to enter the match! She faced a lot of challenges as an immigrant physician, including having to work as a medical assistant to pay for her expenses WHILE studying for the STEP exam. She shares her experience as a resident, fellow, and now as an independent practicing physician and business owner! Dr. Salas-Whalen imparts the importance of patient-centered care and how starting her practice has given her the freedom she always desired. She shares the benefits of having more time with patients and more flexibility for her family and kids. Her journey was FAR from easy, but she remained focused on her one goals and now she is a BOSS in New York combating the obesity epidemic every day! She is a testament to how phenomenal women in medicine can be and an inspiring Latina in medicine! I hope you learn something new from this episode!!
