Jackie Whittaker

By dcc2012 | February 29, 2020

Assistant Professor, Department of Physical Therapy
What inspires you about being a woman in the field of medicine?

Having the privilege, every day, to contribute my unique perspective as a scientist, physiotherapist, and woman, to creating a health system and health strategy that is sensitive to, and reflects the diverse and unique needs of Canadians.

What advice would you give to women wanting to pursue a career in the field of medicine?

Believe in yourself, in what you are doing, work hard, take nothing personally and if something or someone blocks one route, find another. Never give up.
