As it relates to your career and your own aspirations what does `power' mean to you? ANSWER: To me "power" is to be able to make a positive impact on people's lives. When I see the Dubin Breast Center filled with women across all socioeconomic categories getting the best possible medical care and treatment regardless of their ability to pay... that is empowering! 2. Power or influence? Do they mean different things for you? If so, why? ANSWER: I think power and influence have a lot in common. As it relates to healthcare, the influence you can have in shaping the future of care comes with the power of treating a lot of patients. At the Dubin Breast Center we are trying to influence healthcare where the whole person is being cared for in every possible need (psychological, dietary, genetics, cosmetic and integrative medicine) combined with the traditional treatment of breast cancer. 3. Is it tougher now to climb the career ladder in your field than it was when you started out? If so, why? Is it tougher to do so in New York? ANSWER: I think medicine is a wonderful field for women. It's difficult for me to comment on if it's tougher now or then. Personally, I don't feel like I am climbing a career ladder. What I do comes from my passion for helping people. This passion stems from my somewhat unique combination of being a philanthropist, a patient and a physician. I assume it is harder to be in New York as the competition is greater since the city attracts the brightest and the best. 4. What is the greatest advantage for being in NYC for the type of work you do? Greatest challenge? How have you dealt with them over time? EFTA00679714
