Kathleen S. White, MD

I am a second year emergency medicine resident at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. I did my medical training at the University of Kansas School of Medicine where I was heavily involved in the student run free clinics. I spent a year in a surgical pre-lim position before moving on to my current emergency medicine training program at Dartmouth. During my medical school and residency training, I developed a particular interest and passion in medical education and have become involved in the education of medical students who rotate through our department. With the assistance of our EM clerkship director, Dr. Kathy Clem, I developed a medical education track and a teaching elective within the residency. While many of the medical students I have had the pleasure of working with over the past year are female and females now make up more than half of medical students nationwide, there is still a dearth of female leadership, and as a result we're leaving a lot of talent on the table. Personally, I remember all the women role models in my life and career and how they have helped shape me and get to where I am in my young career and I aim to do the same for other young female physicians.
