Medicine can be challenging sometimes, and while there are often formal support structures in place such as welfare teams or occupational health to deal with acute events, or ongoing struggles, what about all the day to day parts of medicine? 

Today we’re going to be talking about the support systems available in medical schools and the impacts of having, or not having, these structures in place.
