Maria P. Velez, MD, PhD, FRCSC, Women's Reproductive Health

 My daughters keep track of my publications.  For Mother day they wrote this song:  Chorus: We love u w/ all our hearts, u always stay committed to the things u do, 10 of your papers have been accepted already, & that's amazing because it's only May They see us. Proud academic mom.

 I framed all of my diplomas recently. A friend suggested doing that as a way of self-acceptance. They represent 3 countries, 4 languages, ∞ family support, and only 1 purpose: Improving women's reproductive health through clinical practice, research, and teaching.
