Born one of 8 children, I never planned on going into medicine. Just getting into college and paying my way was enough to worry about! But, I found I loved science and found medicine and am grateful for the support I had along the way. Though I put myself through school, I can never say that I did this on my own. I had a family that supported me, women's groups and others that provided scholarship funding, and colleagues that helped push me along when the going got tough. The summer programs during college were essential to learning more about the path to medicine, and the student clubs and organizations gave me leadership skills and foraged the path to medical school.
Luckily I never gave much thought to the naysayers who said "you can't be a mother and a doctor." I graduated from Cal State Long Beach and then went on to medical school at Weill College of Medicine at Cornell in New York City. Back in the 80's, women made up ~30% of the medical school. My husband was a classmate. We completed residency in Cleveland, OH and since then I have been on faculty at various medical schools. We now have three children and are enjoying a fabulous two career marriage. Along the way, I have served as a soccer coach, Director of Girls Hockey, team manager, church lecturer, and too many things to count.
To get up every day, excited about the possibilities that lay ahead and be happy to come home at the end of the day...what is better than that!
Meet Theresa and other First Gen role models like her June 6-8, 2020 at GlobalMIndED in Denver, CO with industry experts from all fields including national and global industry champions.

iGIANT® and GlobalMindED are excited to announce a challenge competition to explore the impact of gender/sex on innovation and novel technologies in our lives. By partnering together, iGIANT and GlobalMindED hope to inspire young emerging leaders to develop innovative ideas regarding gender/sex within health, IT, transportation, and retail.The winner will be announced at the iGIANT Design Summit in San Francisco November 21, will receive $250, and will have the opportunity to bring their idea to fruition with the help of iGIANT and its network of professionals.
The National Academy of Medicine defines "gender" as a person's self-representation as male or female based on social interactions and "sex" as based on one's genes. The environment can impact gene expression which is known as "epigenetics."
Gender/sex impacts every aspect of our daily lives. The same dosage of medication, for example, has different effects on men compared to women, resulting in a need for us to understand these differential effects in the research and development process before doctors can effectively dose their patients. Similarly, although some products (such as shoes, sports equipment, or cars) seem to have separate designs for men and women, it is important to distinguish between a simple change in aesthetics and a design that actually addresses the biological factors (ie, body composition, bone structure, metabolism) that cause men and women to experience these products differently. Each small detail and seemingly insignificant change in design can heavily impact how we perform at work, school, or in our leisurely activities.
GUIDELINES
Participants:
The challenge is open to all students
Design Requirements:
The design elements can include:
Programs (ex: an educational symposium);
Policies (ex: a policy on inclusion);
Protocols (ex: athletic training protocols or medical guidelines); or
Products (ex: sports equipment, clothing, tools, hardware and machine-human interfaces).
Solution Requirements:
The solution should:
Demonstrate the impact of gender/sex on a design element.
The concept for the design element needs to be clear, concise and actionable.
Submissions (approximately 1-2 pages in length) are due November 7 to contact@globalminded.org. We look forward to your ideas!
