Listening to Dr. Susan Wamithi Gitao’s safari has the makings of an origin story for the books. She takes us through her medical education journey, while reflecting on key people in her family and career who helped make it all a reality, one day at a time. You do not want to miss hearing about one of the novel and most humbling paediatric subspecialties yet. Come learn about Developmental Paediatrics and the opportunities therein. You really do not want to miss out on this one. Should you want to reach out to Dr. Wamithi, her handle on X (Twitter) is @drciiru.
