Mirtha Macri D.O. is a board-certified emergency medicine attending physician. She works at Manhattan's first freestanding emergency department at Lenox Health Greenwich Village (A division of Lenox Hill Hospital-Northwell Health), and also at Overlook Medical Center (in Summit NJ).

In addition to being an EM attending, Dr. Macri has also volunteered her time to travel to the Amazon rainforrest to provide healthcare to patients with no access to services.

Dr. Macri talks to Dr. Kedar Sankholkar about her training, physician burnout, and practicing in diverse ER settings around the country.

From Dr. Macri:

"Even five years out as attending - it's a still a learning process."

"Burnout is a danger-zone; and sometimes we forget it is happening to you."

"Wellness is always the achievable goal... you have to do it, and you have to be proactive about it."


"I interviewed at every place possible...Don't just interview at the two closest places in your vicinity."
