"I'm passionate about it. I knew what I was getting myself into and didn't let others' concerns be obstacles."

Mentorship & Support Systems
"I had phenomenal mentors (...). I ended up doing a CHIP fellowship because of them."

Bias & Representation
"I had clinic staff tell patients that I'm a female doctor that does just diagnostic Cath - no stents."

Women are <5% of interventional cardiologists in the US. It's not a pipeline issue, a systems issue.

WECARE shows women love the field but face pay gaps, limited parental support & cultural barriers. Mentorship is critical.

Time to redesign the system.

Trump Pardoned Tax Cheat After Mother Attended $1 Million Dinner

Trump math: $1M dinner + lots of kissing up = 1 pardon + erasing a $4.4M penalty.

To Trump, it doesn't matter that Walczak stole millions from the paychecks of nurses and doctors to pay for a yacht. All that matters is how much money his family paid Trump.
