Women in Medicine: Michelle Goldsmith, MD, MA
During September, we proudly feature members of our department for Women in Medicine Month!
Why did you pursue a career in medicine?
Medicine combines teaching and healing which stimulates the mind and the heart.
What is your work focused on?
I care for medically ill kids of all ages and their families at LPCH. During their difficult moments, I am privileged to walk alongside them.
What is the most fulfilling part of your work?
If I can provide some sort of lighthouse in the storm, and encourage making meaning of illness, then I have shared in the burden and witnessed human strength during unimaginable adversity.
What advice would you give yourself when you started in the field, knowing what you know now?
Take better care of myself while taking care of others. Never take anything for granted. Everything is temporary and precious.
