James Wu, Hematology/Oncology Fellow and NHLBI R38 Scholar at Medical College of Wisconsin, shared Ana Velázquez Mañana’s, Assistant Professor of Medicine at University of California, post on X, adding:
“Some amazing life advice at the ASCO26 AstraZeneca Lungsphere Leadership Exchange from Triparna Sen, Rami Manochakian, Eric K. Singhi, Arthi Sridhar and Ana Velázquez Mañana.
Some of the top pearls of advice.
Dr. Arthi Sridhar in regards to imposter syndrome: Decide what defines you. One thing alone doesn’t define you. It’s many things together.
Dr. Ana Velázquez Mañana in regards to imposter syndrome: Don’t compare your insides to someone else’s outsides. Create a self affirmation email folder to recharge on those bad days.
Dr. Eric K. Singhi in regards to early career: Find your people. And identify the couple things that people know they can depend on you to do and be an expert in.
Dr. Rami Manochakian in regards to resilience: When you’re in clinic, feel the power with the compassion. It truly is a privilege to be able to take care of cancer patients. On those down days, remind yourself that you have accomplished so much just by becoming a physician.”
Quoting Ana Velázquez Mañana’s post:
“Join us on Monday June 1st to wrap up ASCO26 and be part of an engaging discussion on leadership development, networking, and building a value-aligned career!
Monday June 1, 2026 at 6:30 PM.”
