A message from our host Pooja: "Although we aren’t from similar fields, I was able to learn a lot from my conversation with Dr. Parikh. She was very open and honest about her struggles with imposter syndrome, which was refreshing and insightful. I also had the pleasure of learning about mentorship and female healthcare, and her amazing experiences!"
