Dr. Val Arkoosh is an Anesthesiologist by training and a current candidate for Congress in the Pennsylvania 13th Congressional District. We recently had the chance to speak to Dr. Val to get her thoughts on being a doctor and being a candidate.<\/p>\n
Why did you decide to leave full time clinical practice at Jefferson and go to into administration?<\/strong><\/p>\n
The position I left Jefferson to take was a pretty exciting one.<\/p>\n
You might remember that Allegheny opened this hospital for women. It was PCOM\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s old hospital on City Ave.<\/p>\n
And they opened it up and reconfigured I to be a hospital for women. So they moved all the OB GYN, gyn onc ,breast surgery, most women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s services from Hahmemann and Medical College of Pennsylvania to that new hospital for women on City Ave. So that was actually the position that I left for.<\/p>\n
