“You save a life of a child, you save generations.” - Dr. Andrea
Our guest for today is the first African-American female pediatric surgeon in the country and today, she shares how she leads as a surgeon and an educator. We talked about her clinical research efforts and how she has changed and saved lives. I really enjoyed this episode and I learned so much from Dr. Jordan and I am sure you will too.
