Jamie Gellock, '08
At the time, a medical student at UNE's College of Osteopathic Medicine, and working toward a master's degree in public health. Planning to become a family physician.
"Beginning my undergraduate degree in medical biology, I always knew I wanted to work in some part of the health care field. Working towards my WGST minor changed my original career path, as the courses were both empowering and inspiring, allowing me to see my full potential.
"After my first WGST class, I made the decision to change my undergraduate courses and fulfill all the necessary prerequisites so that I could apply to medical school and continue my education to become a physician. The WGST minor has given me invaluable insights on many aspects of practicing medicine including domestic violence, abortion, life as a woman in the health care field, and gender and cultural competence. Going forward the WGST has helped shape the type of physician I am striving to become and the woman I am."
