As with most things that matter, my career as the Medical Director of Wellness for Graduate Medical Education didn’t happen overnight.
It started with my own experience with burnout and depression as a medical trainee and built momentum throughout my early career as a series of moments revealed just how much the system we work in demanded that we suck-it-up and sacrifice our own wellbeing without complaint.
In this short episode, I share a story of how confronting toxic culture in medicine pushed me to become a fierce advocate for physician well-being by changing the systems in which we work one small step at a time.
Although this short episode centers on the healthcare environment, it’s really for anyone in who’s ever felt overwhelmed, unsupported, or unsure how to keep doing the work they love without losing themselves in the process.
How are you transforming your life and/or workplace?
