Bio
From a profile at Moffitt:[2]
- Neha Verma, MD, joined Moffitt in 2018 as an assistant member in the Department of Internal Medicine and Hospital Medicine. She also serves as a faculty member at the USF Morsani College of Medicine. Her clinical interests focus on improving immunotherapy agents. She received recognition for the Golden Apple teaching award, a hospital-wide award for outstanding teaching of residents.
- Outside of work she organized a national chapter called “Physician Women Rally (PWR),” [The initial name of the Facebook Page associated with PWR was "Physician Rally: Success in Networking, Entrepreneurship and Activism"] a group designed to help women network and support one another. Dr. Verma describes the power of connecting with others and why women need to get involved in leadership.
Neha Verma also praised Michelle Obama as "an inspiration to all women and has emerged as one of the most influential and iconic woman of my generation:"
- "She inspired so many young females to grow. For example, she started the 'Let Girls Learn' program, to help young girls around the world to receive an education. She also organized many initiatives to support young children to be more active including “Let’s Move,” a campaign to combat childhood obesity. I would love to pick her brain or ask for further advice on becoming a powerful female within the community.
