Dr Mary Rorro was one of many women physicians featured in the new book, Girls Become
Doctors and Much More – Inspiring Stories of Women in Medicine, by Dr. Olapeju Simoyan.
“Answering the call to be a doctor and becoming a physician to serve our nation’s veterans is my patriotic mission. My parents nurtured my dreams and gave me the gift of music, which I blend in my practice to help patients in their journey toward wellness.”
-Mary Rorro, DO
“Girls Become Doctors and Much More is an inspiring and joyful celebration of the many ways women are reshaping medicine—and the world. Dr. Simoyan doesn’t just tell stories of achievement; she invites readers into a beautifully woven tapestry of identity, creativity, and purpose. The women featured in this book break barriers not only in their clinical fields, but also in how they bring their whole selves—artist, advocate, healer, human—to the practice of medicine.
It’s a moving testament to the power of passion, and a much-needed reminder that there is no single way to be a doctor. This book will uplift students, energize professionals, and light the path for anyone daring to dream beyond the expected.”
Susan Hingle, MD, Professor of Medicine and Medical Humanities at SIU School of Medicine,
Immediate Past President American Medical Women’s Association
