Dr. Susan Sloan was discouraged from pursuing a medical education by her high school guidance counselors. Twenty-two years after leaving university and becoming a teacher, and with a family of five young children, she enrolled in medical school to complete the training she had wanted to pursue for so long. In 2002, Dr. Sloan became associate director of an internal medicine program at East Tennessee State University and an advocate for community groups providing medical care to underserved women.
