In this episode of Faces of Medicine, we hear the story of Dr. Lynnette Watkins, a second generation physician with roots in the Midwest. Her clinical practice as an Ophthalmologist and Oculofacial Plastic Surgeon gave way to her passion for leadership in health care. She has shared her visionary approach to systems and quality in hospitals from Texas to Massachusetts. Most recently, she has been appointed as the Interim Regional Campus Associate Dean at Texas A& M University Naresh K. Vashinsht College of Medicine. The runaway train of her successful career in leadership didn’t always give her space to focus on herself. Listen as he shares thoughts on that challenge, and so much more.
This podcast is part of Faces of Medicine, a donor-funded project to share the stories of Black women physicians to inspire the next generation and give everyone who listens a window into these remarkable journeys.
It all started with an independent documentary which is available to rent at kinema.
