Dr. Dionne Dickerson was such an amazing physician to shadow! Dr. Dickerson was genuinely interested in students and offered great wisdom and advice applicable to me while I am still in my training. Her passion and knowledge in her work and great rapport with her staff and patients inspires me as a preclinical student interested in her specialty. Additionally, speaking to a female doctor who I admire was so important for my professional development and learning to balance career and family, work and life. Thank you Dr. Dickerson for the experience; it was invaluable!
