Dr Robert Califf conducts a series of in-depth and personal interviews with his peers in the world of cardiology to find out what makes them tick, how they feel about the future, and what lessons they have learned during their exceptional careers.
Dr Jane Somerville grew up in London, England and was sent to attend a boys' preparatory school in Wales during WWII. This turned out to be a significant moment in her education. Hear her stories about being a woman in a man's world, how a lecture by Alfred Blalock influenced her career, and the importance of specialized training for grown-up congenital heart disease.
