This episode of Prescription for Success features Dr. Stephanie Wu, an internationally renowned podiatrist and dean of the Dr. William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine. Dr. Wu shares her unconventional journey into medicine, beginning with a career in marketing before serendipitously discovering podiatry through an unplanned MCAT exam. Her story highlights the importance of remaining open to unexpected opportunities and embracing career changes. She also reflects on her deeply personal decision to become a U.S. citizen following the events of September 11, emphasizing the resilience and unity she witnessed in the aftermath.
A significant portion of the conversation centers on Dr. Wu’s passion for wound care, a specialty she describes as uniquely rewarding due to the deep patient connections and interdisciplinary collaboration it fosters. She underscores the profound impact of chronic wounds on patients' lives and the satisfaction of providing long-term, life-changing care. Additionally, Dr. Wu discusses her transition into academic leadership, including the challenges of guiding her institution through the COVID-19 pandemic. The episode concludes with her “prescription for success,” a thoughtful acronym (A-E-I-O-U) that emphasizes availability, enthusiasm, inspiration, seizing opportunities, and the value of hard work—principles that have shaped her distinguished career.
