Go behind the scenes with one of our PCOM Alumni, Ayesha Khanduri, DO ‘19, MS/Biomed ‘15, during her day as a hospice and palliative medicine physician as we celebrate Women in Medicine Month!

“I was drawn to the specialty because I have cared for my grandparents who were both on hospice care when I was in medical school and residency,” she shared, “I experienced what it was like being a caregiver and caring for someone towards the end of their life as a family member.”

On her advice for future women in medicine, she reflects, "Medicine will ask a lot of you, but it will also give so much back. You will grow, you will be challenged, and you will have moments that remind you exactly why you chose this path. Always believe in yourself - you will always be your biggest cheerleader!"

Twenty-five years after September 11th, we pause to remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost that day and honor the survivors, families and communities forever changed.

We also recognize the physicians and health professionals who have cared for 9/11 survivors and responders over the past 25 years, monitoring long-term health effects, screening for cancer, treating physical and mental health conditions, and advancing research to improve care.

Two and a half decades on, we honor those we lost. We stand with those still living with the effects of 9/11. And we recognize the medical community that continues to care for them.
