The Doc, U R… Podcast aims to empower physicians (from medical school and beyond) and combat the stigmas surrounding their mental health and diminish physicians affected by limiting beliefs, working small, and burnout. We will start with the women doctors in our lives and provide conversations geared towards female physicians, but understand this is not just about female physicians.

The objective of the podcast is to de-stigmatize physician mental health. The goals are to humanize physicians, empower female physicians, and bring awareness to their healing needs. The theme this season is “Navigating Mental Health & Medicine: Defining Burnout, An Occupational Hazard.” 

In this episode, Dr. Kiki catches up with Dr. Isata Sesay. Dr. Sesay is currently finishing an Advanced Heart Failure/Transplant Fellowship at Temple University Hospital. She will be joining the heart failure department at Christiana Care in Delaware in the Fall of 2021. She is currently married to a Family Medicine Physician. 

In this episode:

• The isolation Black physicians face among their White peers
• Whether a woman can indeed have it all and the guilt of working moms
• How systematic issues in the medical field contribute towards burnout
• The impact of COVID-19 on physicians
• Ways for medical students, residents, and physicians to maintain their mental health

Enjoy as Dr. Sesay explains how and why she feels blessed and outlines ways in which fellow trainees and physicians can overcome obstacles.
