Physician moms are burning out. Navigating the complex health care system while parenting during the pandemic has been an enormous challenge, even under the best circumstances.

Join Dr. Jennifer Reid as she interviews Dr. Christine Ko, a physician and mother of 2 children, who shares her powerful story of her son's missed diagnosis and its lasting effects. She has taken the lessons she learned during this difficult journey, and wants to help others walk a different path. 

As parents, we are just trying to do our best during a truly overwhelming time. Dr. Ko generously allows us a glimpse of her own life, and shares a powerful message about not giving up.

Dr. Christine Ko is a dermatologist and dermatopathologist as well as a published author, with her recent book, How to Improve Doctor-Patient Connection: Using Psychology to Optimize Healthcare Interactions.
