Women in Medicine: Sallie DeGolia, MD, MPH
During September, we proudly feature women in our department for
Women in Medicine Month!
Share a memorable experience or accomplishment you are proud of in your career. How did it impact your journey?
I am proud of being part of a remarkable faculty and psychiatry training program. Mentoring and teaching the next generation of psychiatrists and early faculty has been a highlight of my career.
What would you tell other women starting to pursue a career in medicine?
Map out your values and vision of what you hope for in your life - not just work! It can often feel like “a women’s work is never done…” even with the most supportive of partners…but there are limits. Protect yourself, as no one else will. Trust yourself, find your voice, and do not let your voice be silenced.

What are some of the things that inspire you in your work?
For the same reasons that I became a psychiatrist and educator, I am inspired by folks who have the courage to find their truth, create opportunities out of mistakes or difficult times, and have the courage to go after what they want and need.

We asked some of the #StanfordWIM in our department to share their stories - memorable experiences, what advice they would give someone starting in the field, and what inspires them. Read what they have to say! #WomenInMedicine
