Episode Overview:   Welcome to Season 3 of the 6% with NancyMD! To kick off this season, I wanted to start with a very special episode featuring two of my colleagues-- Dr. Jennifer Weiss and Dr. Alana Munger! I’m so excited to have them here-- with this being Dr. Jennifer’s encore appearance!   At the time of this recording, it would have been one year since my first episode-- and I really wanted to honor where I started by coming back and honouring women in orthopaedics, sharing their stories and all the hoops they had to jump through to get to where they are.   While I’m so happy that women are being celebrated in their industries, I’ve also been saddened by the instances where the gap between gender equality rears its head; evidently showing us that we still have ways to go.   In this episode, we’ll all collectively talk about our fields today, and what strides still have to be made. Without further ado, let’s kick off Season 3!   Episode Highlights:    The barriers each of us had to face going into this field The most ridiculous things said to us How we changed the culture around us Some of the best advocates we’ve met The SpeakUpOrto Movement and why it’s important nowadays    About the Guests: Dr. Alana Munger was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. She played soccer throughout her childhood and was recruited to play at UCLA. In her final season at UCLA, she was a member of the 2013 NCAA Division National Championship Team, which was the 110th NCAA national title for UCLA and the 1st for the women’s soccer program. She then went across town to go to medical school at the Keck School of Medicine of USC. Upon her graduation from medical school, Dr. Munger received the American Medical Women’s Association Janet M. Glasgow Achievement Certificate, presented to women who graduate in the top 10% of their class. Dr. Munger then continued to travel east to attend Yale University for her orthopaedic residency.   Dr. Jennifer Weiss is an Orthopaedic Surgeon specializing in Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine. Growing up as the daughter of an orthopaedic surgeon, Jennifer saw first-hand how male-dominated the world of medicine is. Throughout medical school, she encountered few female students and fewer women that were aspiring to become orthopaedic surgeons.   From the start, it has always been her goal to help aspiring women to become successful surgeons — and to inspire women to enter the field of surgery and not be intimidated by this largely male profession.   Dr. Weiss actively writes and speaks on the topic of women in medicine. She has served on the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Board of Directors, and is currently the Communications Cabinet Chair.  She teaches communication skills to physicians, surgeons, and other health care clinicians both within her large integrated health care system in Southern California and within the Orthopaedic surgery societies.  Her research is widely published, and she is an active leader and speaker within the medical community nationally and internationally.     Connect with Alana:    She Can Fix It Podcast SheCanFixItPod | Twitter @shecanfixitpod |  Instagram shecanfixitpod@gmail.com | Email     Connect with Jennifer:    Jennifer Weiss MD | Website  Jennifer Weiss | Twitter Jennifermweiss@yahoo.com | Email      ---   Did you enjoy today’s episode?
