In this episode, Dr. Burriesci chats about how necessary it is to advocate for our own profession and sometimes that can be as simple as wearing your damn stethoscope.  Although this episode is not specifically promoting wearing your stethoscope and it’s definitely not about shaming you for not wearing one, it’s actually about recognizing our role in supporting each other.

It’s all about elevating our profession while also educating other professionals and patients about what we are capable of doing. With such a wide scope of practice in our field, we have to remember that even if something is not in our comfort zone or even a skill we don’t personally enjoy, that does not give us permission to down our own profession.  We need to do better and support one another, so we can continue to elevate our profession.  

But if auscultation is a skill you want to become more comfortable with, start by wearing your stethoscope and finding a mentor that can help you master this skill.  Like any area of your life, in order to improve your skills it starts with practice.  And if you’re looking for a mentor, book yourself a mentor session with Dr. Burriesci.

 In this episode:

• Importance of elevating our colleagues
• Promote your skills
• Supporting our wide scope of practice
• Learning a new skill requires practice
