“Dr. Paola Rossi, clinical program director for lifestyle medicine at Sylvester, took a career aptitude test that suggested medicine would be a good fit, but it also warned she was too empathetic for the job. She immediately knew she had found her calling. We sat down with Dr. Rossi to discuss her research and innovative approach.
