Linda Brodsky
Dana’s mother, also known as Linda Brodsky, MD, is among a small number of U.S. women to have achieved the rank of tenured full professor in Otolaryngology and Pediatrics. Dr. Brodsky founded Buffalo’s award-winning Center for Pediatric Quality and worked for almost 20 years as the founder and director of Pediatric Otolaryngology and Communication Disorders at the Women and Children’s Hospital of Buffalo. She is currently a practicing physician and surgeon. Dr. Brodsky is a graduate of Bryn Mawr College, where she majored in History of Religion and minored in Chemistry. She graduated from the Medical College of Pennsylvania and completed her residency training at the Montefiore Hospital and Medical Center and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. One of Dr. Brodsky’s current passions, combating gender discrimination in healthcare, is the result of an almost-ten year legal battle based on her claims of gender discrimination in the workplace. Though her court cases were resolved in 2008, they continue to fuel her commitment to equal rights. Dr. Brodsky’s site can be found at http://www.lindabrodskymd.com. She blogs regularly at http://thebrodskyblog.com.
