Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
Over my twelve years of supporting clients before, during, and after childbirth as a doula, I observed a multitude of clinical and humanistic failures and successes in hospitals and birth centers. I became a passionate advocate for comprehensive pain and symptom management for the whole person in all medical specialties. Rather than relying on my observations in these areas alone, however, I pursued formal training in the social analysis of medicine through my master's and doctoral research. My work as an applied sociologist advocating for patients is possible because of the half-decade of full-time, formal Ph.D. training I completed at one of the top research universities in the world.
