Bursting with pride for my incredible daughter, Katherine, @katherine.haver who just passed the USMLE Step 1! This is one of the most challenging exams on the road to becoming a physician—and she did it with determination, discipline, and heart. And let me be clear: she’s not following in my footsteps—she’s forging her own path. Every step she’s taken has been her own. She chose this. She earned this. She made it happen. Watching her become the woman—and future doctor—she was meant to be is one of the greatest joys of my life. Congratulations, Katherine. You are extraordinary. #proudmom #futuredoctor #usmlestep1 #womeninmedicine #drmaryclaire #thenewmenopause #notfollowingfootsteps #ownpath
