#417 Resa Lewiss MD: Building a Career with Both Hands — Part One
In Part One, Dr. Resa Lewiss reflects on the experiences that led her to emergency medicine, from early memories of gender inequity at the dinner table to the interdisciplinary studies that shaped her worldview. She shares why she chose a career in high-pressure medicine, how a love of procedures led her to ultrasound, and why teaching globally changed how she practices and leads.
Key Highlights of Our Interview:
Medicine Was a Calling, Not a Family Trade
“I didn’t grow up around doctors. But from early on, medicine was in my bones.”
Resa explains how her internal pull toward healthcare was stronger than any external influence.
The First Fight for Fairness
“My dad said, ‘Girls, clear the table.’ I said, ‘What about the boys?’”
She recalls early moments that sparked her refusal to accept unequal expectations.
Finding Her Fit in Emergency Medicine
“Once I rotated in emergency, I thought—this is it. This is where I belong.”
Resa describes the moment she discovered the dynamic, procedure-driven specialty she’d been looking for.
The Power of a Liberal Arts Education
“My literature and sociology classes made me a better doctor. They taught me empathy.”
She shares how studying beyond science helped her connect more deeply with patients.
Teaching Around the World
“When I went to India, Rwanda, Jordan—these were not lectures. These were collaborations.”
Why global teaching in ultrasound expanded her understanding of medicine and leadership.
