“I had the honor of joining the Open Doors, Drs. Ioanna and Vilma Podcast — hosted by Drs. Prof Ioanna Nixon and Vilma Pacheco Barcia — to reflect on what it means to build a career in oncology from Latin America.
We talked about challenges, resilience, and the importance of staying proactive: opening doors, embracing difficulties, and creating networks that make us stronger — both professionally and personally.
It was a meaningful conversation about mentorship, wellbeing, and the power of global collaboration in oncology.
Thank you to the entire Open Doors, Drs. Ioanna and Vilma Podcast team for the opportunity and the space for honest dialogue.
