“In today's healthcare environment, the doctor-patient relationship can be strained. As a woman physician, my unique skills of caring, nurturing, compassion, and humanity complement my strong scientific knowledge to help me deliver high quality outcomes for my patients. Additionally, UPMC has supported me in achieving my clinical and leadership goals. I have been able to streamline inpatient and outpatient diabetes care across the system with collaboration from all fellow physicians, nurses, and administration.” - Renu Joshi, MD, UPMC chief endocrinologist and vice president for chronic disease management at UPMC in Central Pa. In honor of #NationalWomenPhysiciansDay, we’re proud to feature outstanding female physicians from throughout our system.
