While pursuing a career as a medical doctor is a common and effective way to provide people with the care that they need, it is certainly not the only way to do so. In today’s episode, we speak with Dr. Morine Cebert-Gaitors, who completed her Ph.D. in Nursing from Duke University School of Nursing and is currently a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Cebert-Gaitors, who is also a Certified Nurse Practitioner, shares her experience with an ovarian cyst inspired her to pursue a doctoral degree to study infertility in Black women, how she leveraged institutional resources and mentors to secure funding to finish her doctoral degree in just three and a half years, and the personal, family, and mental health challenges that she overcame during her doctorate. We hope you join us for a raw and real conversation about the personal challenges that can accompany an academic journey, and some powerful practical advice on how best to manage them!
