PHOENIX (LifeSiteNews) – Mother of nine Sarah Merrill challenged the claim that mothers cannot have successful careers by graduating from medical school and now plans to become a neurosurgeon.
This month, Merrill’s husband and nine children aged 8-20 accompanied her to her graduation from the Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine in Phoenix, Arizona, ABC News reported. She now plans to begin a neurosurgery residency at Indiana University.
“It’s going to be a new challenge, a new adventure,” Merrill told Good Morning America of her upcoming residency. “But everybody is on board, and I think we have a great support system.”
41-year-old Merrill began pursuing a medial career at the age of age 17 when she entered Dartmouth College as a pre-med major. It was there that she met her future husband.
The couple married and Merrill had a 5-month-old daughter at the time of her graduation from Dartmouth. Having taken the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) while pregnant, Merrill originally planned to continue to medical school.
