As a female physician, Loren is passionate about empathy and advocacy for women in medicine. Her personal essay on sexism in medical training, was published in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine, and details the hurdles and frustrations that female medical trainees face during medical training. In this talk, she outlines strategies for dealing with and overcoming gender bias in the workplace, such as: participating in amplification of female voices and ideas, introducing oneself as a doctor, using instances of sexism as learning opportunities and enlisting male allies. Through these actions, Loren advocates for improving patient care by creating a more equitable medical culture.
Loren Galler Rabinowitz made her first service trip at three weeks of age to Barbados, where her mother, a professor of medicine at Harvard, has run a center for malnourished children since the early 1970s. Growing up in Boston and Barbados, Loren has always known that she would commit her life to serving others. As an athlete, Loren donated many of her performances, and much of her time, to charity. While a student at Harvard, Loren volunteered at a local hospital and continued to use her love for figure skating to help causes that were important to her. Upon graduation, Loren was named the winner of Harvard's Le Baron Briggs Prize, "for her work as a humanitarian and poet." In 2010, Loren gave a year of service to her state as Miss Massachusetts 2010, attending over one hundred charity events and speaking about the importance of giving. Loren is currently studying medicine at Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons in New York City, as well as continuing her humanitarian efforts on behalf of local, national, and nonprofit organizations.
As a grandchild of two Holocaust survivors, Loren Galler Rabinowitz is constantly reminded that she belongs to a legacy of survivorship and resilience that has existed for thousands of years. Her grandparents' wartime stories were infused with a deep faith and a commitment to ending intolerance. Being the only Jew in most of the arenas she enters—be they skating rinks or the Miss America stage—has forced Rabinowitz to confront, head-on, the positives and negatives of being different in a world where there is a high premium on fitting in. By bravely taking up the work of our predecessors, that is, the fight against bigotry and prejudice, her generation of Jews is redefining success on its own terms.
In this speech, Loren Rabinowitz Galler speaks passionately about her grandmother's story of survival in the Holocaust, and the lessons about resilience, faith, and strength of character that were passed down to her through her mother and grandmother. Furthermore, she encourages audiences to practice greater tolerance and kindness.
Take it from this figure-skating, piano-playing, poetry-writing Harvard graduate, medical student, and the only Jewish contestant at the 2011 Miss America Pageant: being different is not always easy. Loren Galler Rabinowitz speaks about her desire to break boundaries and defy stereotypes in her athletic and academic careers as well as as Miss Massachusetts. Loren believes that we are each given a unique voice, and it is our responsibility to use those voices to make positive change.
