#319 Resa Lewiss MD: Micro Skills for Moments That Actually Matter – Part One

In Part 1, Dr. Resa Lewiss shares how growing up in Rhode Island, challenging gendered assumptions at home, and studying the liberal arts all shaped her path to medicine. She opens up about the moment emergency medicine clicked for her, and how her love for procedures and working with her hands helped her find her place in a specialty that sees everything, all at once.

Key Highlights of Our Interview:

Why She Chose Medicine

“It was always in me. Nobody in my family was a doctor, but medicine was the path.”

Breaking Gender Roles Early

“When my dad asked the girls to clear the table, I said, ‘Why not the boys?’ I wanted to take out the garbage.”

When Emergency Medicine Clicked

“I did a rotation and thought—where have I been? This is what I was looking for.”

Studying Outside the Sciences

“Literature, religion, sociology—those made me a better doctor. They helped me understand my patients.”

Teaching Ultrasound Globally

“I practiced and prepared so I could show up and teach people in different parts of the world—nurses, midwives, physicians.”
