Featured Cornellian:  

Sarah Temkin, MD, is a physician, scientist, and first-time filmmaker whose career has focused on improving women’s health. CCW has been tracking her success since CCW organizing screenings of her moving, award-winning and impactful first documentary.  If you have the PBS App, click here to watch it now. 

September marks the broadcast premiere of her documentary 1001 Cuts on PBS, to commemorate Women in Medicine Month, making the film’s message about gender equity in medicine available to a national audience.
