Dr. David Allen describes this lectureship as an opportunity to reflect on the experiences that pediatricians and clinician-scientists have with young patients that shape career choices, influence research paths, and prompt self-reflection about being even more careful and compassionate people. These themes are especially valuable to the new resident and fellow classes, who are welcomed to the department during this event.
One of Dr. David Allen’s favorite encouragements has always been to keep learning and growing from his patients. “As pediatricians, we honor children when we remember, acknowledge, and keep close to our hearts the important effect they’ve had in our lives as professionals and persons,” explained Allen. The annual lectureship will provide a motivational mentoring talk from an experienced pediatrician describing how pediatric patients have inspired and influenced them.
