Need Guidance as You Pursue Your Goals in Medicine?
Sometimes, achieving your goals requires more than a great idea—it requires clarity, strategy, accountability, and encouragement.
Whether you are navigating an important decision, developing a personal or professional goal, seeking guidance on your next steps, or simply looking for someone to help you think through your ideas, I would be honored to support you.
Through personalized consultations, I provide thoughtful guidance, strategic perspective, and encouragement to help you move forward with greater confidence and intention.
Your goals matter, and you do not have to navigate the journey alone.

Embrace Your Journey
You Don't Have to Feel Like an Imposter to Belong.
The journey to medicine can come with self-doubt, comparison, and the feeling that everyone else has it figured out. Dr. Childs shares her own perspective on imposter syndrome and offers encouragement for students learning to recognize that they belong in the rooms they're working so hard to enter. Discover how to recognize your worth and embrace your journey in medicine with confidence.
Mentoring sessions with Dr. Childs are intended for educational, professional development, and personal guidance purposes only. Mentoring does not constitute medical, mental health, legal, financial, or other professional advice, nor does participation guarantee admission to medical school, residency, or any other educational or professional program. Each individual's journey and circumstances are unique, and mentees are encouraged to seek appropriate qualified professionals for specialized advice when needed.
