Doc, U R… Experiencing a Humbling Journey
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 aim to increase awareness and education about physicians' and other healthcare workers' mental health challenges.
The objective of the podcast is to de-stigmatize physicians' mental health. The goals are to humanize physicians, bring awareness to their healing needs, advance our understanding of suicide to strategically prevent suicide attempts. The theme this season is “Navigating Mental Health & Medicine: The Cost of Burnout.”
This week, Dr. Kiki speaks with Dr. Cassandra D Akin about the mental health challenges doctors face throughout the different stages of their careers, explore some of the different strategies each use to deal with them and how God has helped guide them on their journeys.
Dr. Cassandra Akin is a board-certified Family Medicine Physician. She is a graduate of Rutgers University, Douglass College where she received her bachelor's in Biology. Her studies continued at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ)- Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences where she obtained her master’s in Biomedical Sciences and then went on to earn her doctorate at UMDNJ- School of Osteopathic Medicine in Stratford, NJ. Dr. Akin trained at the University of Massachusetts Fitchburg Family Medicine for her residency with a concentration on Global Health in Nicaragua. For the last 6 years, she has been working as a primary care provider at Harvard Beth Israel Lahey Health in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Outside of medicine, Dr. Akin has received her bachelor's in ministry and charitable services at the International College of Christian Ministries. She is very active in her church, and has had the opportunity to be a part of medical missions to Jamaica as well as Haiti.
