Welcome to the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast!
In this episode, hosted by Dr. Sarah Smith, we dive into a discussion with Dr. Michael Foti, an internal medicine physician and Clinical Assistant Professor at Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine.
Dr. Foti shares his inspiring journey into medicine, highlighting his experiences during medical school and residency amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, and his passion for mental health advocacy.
Join us as we discuss these critical topics and the tools available to help physicians balance their professional responsibilities with personal well-being. Stay tuned to be inspired and informed.
Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode:
- Mental Health Advocacy in Medicine: Both Dr. Foti and Dr. Smith emphasize the importance of removing stigma around mental health issues among healthcare professionals, viewing mental illness as any other illness, which is crucial for the well-being of practitioners.
- Personal Journeys to Resilience: Through personal stories, Dr. Foti discusses his challenging residency during the COVID-19 pandemic, while Dr. Smith shares her experiences with anxiety and depression, reminding us of the importance of engaging in self-care and seeking help when needed.
- Empowering Tools for Efficiency: Discover resources like the Premier Lifetime Access Charting Champions Program, designed to help physicians efficiently manage their workload, preserve personal time, and build a supportive community.
