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 talks with Dr. Mark Johnson about his path to becoming a surgeon. A loving husband and father of 3, Dr. Johnson worked as a community surgeon in Washington, DC, an assistant professor at Howard University Hospital, Department of Surgery, and most recently a surgical preceptor for Georgetown Family Medicine Residency at Providence Hospital. He also owns Silver Spring Hernias,  delivering quality care in general surgery.

In this episode:

• The importance of reliable leaders and mentors in medicine
• Committing to the family as a doctor
• What burnout is to a surgeon
• The impact of aging on working physicians
• The role men have in supporting their women colleagues

Enjoy as Dr. Johnson speaks on his experiences as a surgeon and how the first patient is always yourself.
