Can breaking the mold be the key to success in healthcare?

She says “It is the only way that you can have a voice.” And—she reassured all the younger women—it doesn’t matter how old you are. 2) “Hope is not a strategy” Dr. Archelle advises you to write down your hopes and dreams. Think about the best steps to get there. Make a plan for the next month, 6 months, 12 months. Being intentional will help you get there. 3) Shape Your Career Around What You Love Dr. Archelle shared how she combined her love for math with her career in healthcare, showing that we can shape our professional paths to fit our passions.
