Episode 66: A Pediatric Cardiologist & A Non Profit Founder

Aug 7, 2019

Today's story falls in the STEMM category because traditional STEM fields don't include medicine in them. But women in medicine are equally important and are doing phenomenal work and have super inspiring stories! Today we are excited to showcase a story of an exceptional medical doctor.

Our guest today is Dr. Renee Paro, a third-generation Mexican American girl who is the first in her family to ever become a doctor.

Renee has a BS in Biochemistry from Arizona State University, MD from the University of Chicago, Pritzker School of Medicine, she did her Pediatric residency (3 years) and Pediatric Cardiology Fellowship at Stanford Children’s Hospital. She is also double board-certified in Pediatrics and Pediatric Cardiology.

Renee is also a non-profit founder, mother of two, a podcaster, a wife and an Instagram influencer with 15k plus following. She inspires women to live their best life possible. With their nonprofit Doctor Vegetable, Renee and her husband are promoting a healthier lifestyle for kids.

In this episode we discuss:

1) Why she pursued and loves medicine?

2) Her journey through medical school.

3) What motivates her to do so many different things?

4) How she manages it all while raising a family?

5) What is Doctor Vegetable all about?
