"The best quote that I still say (and I say it to my son all the time) is as Ernie says, 'Not every day can be the best day of your life.' And it's so true. So, if you're having a bad day, Ernie Ring said ... it's okay." —Maureen P. Kohi, MD, FSIR, recipient of the WIR Champion Award

In this episode, host Natosha N. Monfore, DO, speaks with 2025 Women in IR (WIR) Champion Award winner Maureen P. Kohi, MD, FSIR, about her inspirations, the importance of groups like the Women in IR Section, advice she gives trainees and more.
