We're highlighting Dr. Christina Wilson, director of UF's Department of Neurology Residency Program. Dr. Wilson’s main interests lie in neurology graduate medical education and clinical stroke management.

Christina Wilson, Director, UF Department of Neurology Residency Program: "As a medical educator, I have the privilege of seeing residents start with an initial spark of passion and transform into knowledgeable, independent practitioners. My advice is to share your vision for your career and not hold back. This will keep you on track and allow your mentors to identify opportunities to help you get there."

They modeled the best of interdisciplinary science, which I’ve tried to emulate. Because I love what I do, I have rarely considered it work, but rather a part of my life story.” - dawn bowers
