Abstract | This interview shares the story of Dr. Rebecca Buckley, a pioneer not only as one of the first women to be trained as a physician at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine in the 1950s but also as a researcher discovering life-saving treatments for the SCID, “bubble-boy”, patients. It shares the story of what Dr. Buckley's medical school and residency were like, as well as how she and other female classmates handled the discrimination of being women in such a career, and how she balanced a family of four throughout her training. Dr. Buckley discusses some of the most essential people that mentored her throughout her career, as well as the characteristics of the physicians she admired. Her cheerful disposition, humorous stories, and inspiring accomplishments show how much one person can change medicine, and how opportunities in the medical career are endless for those who persevere. |
