Health Careers With Dr. Marn

Seeing children who are only a few months old having difficulty when eating and swallowing is truly heartbreaking. For Michelle Dawson, treating these children as a pediatric speech language pathologist is more of a meaningful service than a mere job. Joining Dr. Richard Marn, Michelle explains how she helps babies heal from oropharyngeal dysphagia both in her professional and personal practices. She also breaks down the most common misconceptions about her profession and the feeling of fulfillment of seeing young ones experience many firsts. Moreover, Michelle shares about her life of overcoming domestic abuse, her advocacy for further diversity in the medical field, and her advice on what it really takes to become a pathologist of her expertise.
