The medical profession is a historically male-dominated field. The University of Arizona is breaking that mold, encouraging more women to pursue careers in healthcare and supporting them along the way.
"When women first come, it can be very daunting. It's not unusual that they may feel impostor syndrome, like they don't belong," said UA College of Medicine Tucson Associate Dean of Admissions, Tejal Parikh.
"Since 2018 more women are applying to medical school and matriculating into medical school. We've seen this locally too, here at the College of Medicine in Tucson," said Parikh."I love the initiatives our university is taking for diversity, be it women, minorities or non-traditional students. I think so often our picture of a physician is changing," said UA College of Medicine First-Year Student, Jessica Shinkle Williams.
"I think for students, it's really important for them to see that what they aspire, as incoming students, is something that's achievable. There are people that have taken those paths and have actually done it," said UA College of Medicine Professor of Medical Imaging, Hina Arif-Tiwari.
