This week, we are joined by Dr. Michael Foti, a dedicated physician who serves as a professor at Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine, bringing his expertise and passion for medical education to the next generation of healthcare professionals. With a recommendation from the esteemed Dr. John Gimpel, Michael brings a wealth of experience as both a practitioner and educator. His journey, much like his passion for mental health advocacy, embodies resilience and compassion. As Michael reflects on his own challenges and triumphs, he echoes a sentiment from his journey: "You should never let where you come from dictate where you go."
He will start by sharing insights into his harrowing experiences as an intern during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, grappling with chaos and loss in the hospital. Then, he opens up about his personal battle with anxiety and depression, shedding light on the stigma surrounding mental health in the medical profession. Finally, Michael shares how he turned his own struggles into a mission to advocate for physician wellness and support medical students in their journey.
I'm confident you'll find Dr. Michael Foti's story both engaging and insightful. May his journey inspire you on your own pursuits.
