Elizabeth Dann, MD [Fourth Year Radiology Resident, DHMC] After years in the trenches of medical school and residency, Elizabeth is finishing her last year as a radiology resident at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical having acquired a husband, a dog, a cat and two lovely daughters along the way. Balancing a medical career and family has been, and will continue to be, challenging but fulfilling. Elizabeth's philosophy has been to keep perspective and balance through foresight and continual prioritization and re-prioritization of both short term and long term goals. When talking to medical students and undergraduates contemplating a career in medicine, she stresses that one cannot allow oneself to be propelled by momentum into medical school and through the structured channels of medicine without consideration to current and long-term happiness. Realistic evaluation of day to day tasks, work place environment and goals are paramount to having a fulfilling career and life. "Having it all" is not realistic, but having the parts that you really want and need for your happiness is. Prior to starting her radiology residency at DHMC, Elizabeth received an A.B. from Harvard and M.D from University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. She will be the Women's Imaging Fellow in July followed by a staff appointment at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and is looking forward to mentoring future physicians and residents-in-training in career exploration and life.
