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. Judith Lightfoot,  the Chair of the Department of Medicine, Associate Professor of Medicine, Program Director of Internal Medicine, and Chief of Infectious Disease at Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine, about her journey through medicine and her struggles as a Black woman.

In this episode:

• Dealing with people who try to discourage you
• Racism in the industry, especially amongst up-and-coming Doctors
• The struggle of getting through Medical School and still taking care of yourself
• The importance of “Never Stop Learning”
• Ways to find time for yourself outside of work/school

Enjoy as Dr. Lightfoot outlines ways to deal with people who try to discourage you from your dreams and how to overcome racism and other discrimination in medicine.
