Through a collaboration with the WISER podcast, Dr. Amanda Fobare and Dr. Vivian Wang sit down with Dr. Shipra Arya to discuss her path to Vascular Surgery and her research on frailty.
Dr. Victoria Teodorescu (Dr. T) recounts the people that tried to discourage her on her road to medicine, including her own program director who had told her that “women with children don’t belong in surgery.” Despite all the obstacles, Dr T was able to become Chief of Vascular Surgery at Bronx VA Medical Center where she instituted a diabetic foot clinic to combat emergency amputations for foot infections.
