Patrice Harris博士成為第一位當選為美國醫學會（AMA）主席的非裔美國女性，創造了歷史。當Harris博士剛進入醫學院時，人們懷疑她的能力，並鼓勵她去追求另一個職業。她說：「我很早就被建議走護理學而非藥物學，護理是一種非常高尚的職業和高尚的職業，但這不是我想做的事情。這可能與我身為有色人種女性有關。但儘管面臨挑戰，我總是從家人和父母那裡知道我可以做任何我想成為的事情。」
原文標題：Black Woman Named President of American Medical Association, Makes HistoryDr. Patrice Harris has made history by becoming the first African-American woman elected to be president of the American Medical Association (AMA).She said that people doubted her when she got into medical school and encouraged her to pursue another career.“I recall early on I had been advised to perhaps go into nursing and not medicine,” she said. “Nursing is a very noble career and noble profession, but it wasn’t what I wanted to do. It could have been related to the fact that I was a woman, the fact that I was a person of color,” she added. “I don’t know.”Despite the challenges, she said her family always supported her.“I always knew from my family and my parents that I could be whatever I wanted to be,” Harris said.
