Why Did I Become A Doctor?

Professor Glenda Gray came into the public eye during the Covid-19 pandemic when her expertise with epidemics made her a key player in South Africa’s early response to the crisis. But long before Covid, and away from the spotlight, Gray has been a strong and steady force in SA’s battle with HIV/AIDS, from when the disease was first making an impact in the 80s, through the years of AIDS denialism, and now at the forefront of a new clinical trial to develop a vaccine against HIV. MedicalBrief, in partnership with Why Did I Become A Doctor, is excited to bring you exclusive early access to this episode before it airs publicly on Sunday, 15 March. Join us as we hear how Gray, the girl from ’the other side of the railway tracks’ in Boksburg, with a passion to become a doctor, moved from paediatrician to become one of the country’s most respected scientists. Click here to watch now and hear Gray in her own words – and watch this space for more unfiltered, inspiring stories from healthcare professionals about their career journeys.
