Dr. Ignacio's Presentation

Dr. Ignacio was able to share a little insight to being an orthopedic surgeon. It was interesting to see the situations that required a "carpenter" to fix. Surgery required knowledge of not only biology, but many of the sciences including physics. She was able to convey all of the hard work and schooling needed in order to become a doctor in any field. She is an example of following your passion rather than following what others believe is right. She decided to work in the field of sports medicine and orthopedic surgery despite being outnumbered by many males. It was inspiring to see such a successful Iolani graduate.
