The faces of leadership in nephrology are changing, what was once a playing field for exclusively men, is slowly transforming to include a diverse group of men and women.
In this episode, we are joined by women who have traversed the leadership ladder. This group includes a current President, two incoming presidents of nephrology societies and an industry executive:
Dr. Holly Kramer, National Kidney Foundation President, clinical nephrologist at Loyola University Medical Center
Dr Lisa Curtis Associate Professor of Medicine at UAB and incoming Women in Nephrology President
Dr. Susan Quaggin, Canadian nephrologist and incoming American Society of Nephrology President
Dr. Reshma Kewalramani, CEO and President of Vertex Pharmaceuticals
These women discuss their journeys, the importance of mentorship, taking risks, kindness, and keeping prospective. Also, they talk about finding your purpose, perseverance, and how to bounce back from failure and rejection. We hope you enjoy this episode with significant insights and advice from each guest.
