TCU medical school graduate first doctor in family – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
SUMMARY: Rebecca Sobolewski, a student at Texas Christian University Burnett School of Medicine, is set to become the first physician in her family. As a Black woman, she faces pressure and lack of representation in the medical field, where only 4.6% of medical school students and 2% of working physicians are Black women. Sobolewski believes that having a diverse physician population leads to better care for patients. She hopes that her graduation will inspire future medical students to see that it is possible to succeed in the medical field. Her family, especially her mother, is excited to see her achieve this milestone.
