HMO Wellness is proud to present a conversation with Christine Kempton, MD, MSc, professor of hematology and bleeding disorders. In this episode you will hear about Dr Kempton's journey from ballerina to physician, a journey that was influenced by several very supportive mentors at Mayo Clinic and Oregon Health Sciences. While in training in Chapel Hill a professor questioned Dr Kempton's decision to pursue hematology only. With a resolve to make decisions that suited her best, Dr Kempton went ahead with hematology career which has now benefited so many patients and families over her 20+ years of service at Emory. Making time and space for self-reflection, including meditation and journaling ("slow down to speed up"), has helped Dr Kempton stay aligned with her own sense of self and kept her professional energies high.
