Humans of Healthcare Podcast

Part 1 – Funmi talks to medical students Hansa Iqbal and Sabeen Majid about their journey to medicine from a state school in Bradford, how they dealt with financial challenges whilst at medical school and share some extra advice.

Medical students on the Leeds MBChB course and professionals in Medicine, talk about the challenges they have had and how they have dealt with them.

Remember, we are not super heroes, we are human.

Humans of Healthcare project aim:

This will be a podcast channel led by medical students, where students and senior staff can talk about the issues they have had and how they have dealt with them. The aim of this is to show that all of us can have challenges throughout our life and it is normal. In medicine there is no need to hide these issues and it is good to talk about them with colleagues, friends and professionals as required. Through this we hope to dispel the myth that medical students and doctors have to be super heroes, and that like everyone else they need to look after their physical and mental health.

Funmi talks to medical student Charlie Anderson about dealing with upsetting family events, intercalation and seeking extensions on assignments.

Funmi talks to medical student Sonya Bushell about the creation of Holistic Health and Wellbeing Society, previously known as HUSH. We’ll also be talking about the importance of a supportive community whilst at medical school, and student support moving forward in the right direction.

Part 2 - Funmi talks to medical student Gemma Whyatt about her skin condition congenital melanocytic naevus (CMN), and how she was involved in the #HowDoYouCMeNow exhibition.
