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.”  

This week, Dr. Kiki talks with Dr. Kikelomo “Kiki” Akinbobola. A graduate of the University of Calgary, Dr. Akinbobola completed her residency at the University of Ottawa and currently practices as a family physician in New Westminster, British Columbia. As a result of her experiences in medical school, Dr. Akinbobola also mentors pre-medical students on their path to medicine, resulting in Medschoolave, an Instagram initiative where Dr. Akinbobola holds live sessions with colleagues for interested students on topics such as financing medical school and how to study for the MCAT.

In this episode:

• Creating access to information for pre-medical students
• The universality of imposter syndrome
• Being kind to yourself

Enjoy as Dr. Akinbobola talks about the importance of sharing information to make the best decisions for your future.
