“The pathways to success truly do differ for civilian and military career progression especially being in the minority amidst the specialty as African American otolaryngologists and coupling that with being a second minority as military otolaryngologists (or third, if you add being a woman).”
– Angela Powell, MD
“The hierarchical nature of military structure coupled with the paternalistic constructs that remain pervasive within the military system make excelling as a minority, female physician-surgeon medical corps officer, one of the most unique and formidable tasks to endure in a time when “breaking the glass ceiling” is a commonly cited phrase within the social lexicon and yet the proverbial glass is positioned skyscrapers above our civilian female counterparts.”
– Angela Powell, MD
I want to put a voice on the page here for the otolaryngologists-in-training on this forum whose careers mirror mine that you are not alone. Our civilian counterparts can teach all of us a great deal about navigating the bureaucracy and strategic maneuvering to access leadership and educational opportunities. It is incumbent upon you to leverage these partnerships, to incorporate the tenets offered in this forum and to make your own path.”
