"I liked the children and the mothers. Children are special. When they are unwell, they are sad. When they are better, they smile. They are very honest. I thought working in pediatrics would be satisfying"

"But a deeper reason for becoming a lecturer was that as a resident I was involved in teaching medical students, and I loved it."

"As a medical student I remember being timid when no one was available to help me in the wards. As a resident I looked for these kinds of students, so I could give them an opportunity to learn. I was able to be there for them because I know that it can be a bit frightening if there's no one to help you."

"the way I teach is to always ask students questions as opposed to giving them information. I always challenge them to think. I noticed that the students in my firm did very well in my area. Some of them came back for postgraduate training in pediat"

"Even then I wanted standards to help us in assessing the students. I wanted all of us to have something look at as we examined the students to make our evaluations more objective. I tried to introduce new topics that I thought were more relevant. Most of what I suggested was out of instinct. I was always looking out for the students. At meetings I would speak up for the students."

"I realized that sometimes our curriculum committee didn't listen well enough to other people. If I had it to do over, I would have involved others more and showed them that I was listening to their concerns and addressing their concerns."
