"As a young immigrant medical professional, I felt lost for the first two years as a faculty and Was reaching a point where I felt emotionally and physically burnt out.

Priti helped me see my “Big Why” in a less than a 30 min phone call. I deeply admire her honest, simple, and authentic views on the most complex issues in healthcare. She clearly gets the big picture and is not afraid to think outside of the box. She is a resilient leader with a strategic vision with a deep desire and passion to help other women. I truly appreciate her blogs; they feed my soul and I find them so useful for day-to-day leadership issues. Priti is an inspiration to ALL physicians (men and women) who aspire to grow their leadership role; many of us see her as a trusted advisor and a true mentor.
