About This Podcast

Young doctors are increasingly in ‘survival’ mode. 

 

Far from flourishing, the relentless pressure of working in medicine means that ‘balance’ is harder than ever to achieve.

 

On the Girl Doc Survival Guide, Yale professor and dermatologist Dr Christine J Ko sits down with doctors, psychologists and mental health experts to dig into the real challenges and rewards of life in medicine. 

 

From dealing with daily stressors and burnout to designing a career that doesn’t sacrifice your personal life, this podcast is all about giving you the tools to not just survive... 

 

But to be present in the journey.
