When it comes to history books, oftentimes you are reader and sometimes you are the writer. In this chapter, Tamia Potter is the author.
“I just felt like you read about this, you read about people making history like this and you’re like, ‘oh that’s really nice, that’s an amazing accomplishment,’” said Potter.This past week on Match Day, Potter learned she matched with Vanderbilt University’s neurosurgery residency. She’s the first black female neurosurgery resident in Vanderbilt’s history.
Neurosurgery is the longest residency and one the toughest surgical sub-specialties. As a result, there are very few neurosurgeons who look like the Florida native. According to the National Institute of Health, there are only 33 black female neurosurgeons in the country, among that number is Dr. Tiffany Hodges, a neurosurgeon at University Hospital and Potter's mentor.
