In this episode, we create a role play scenario of a patient who presents on a very complicated psychotropic medication regimen seeking yet more controlled substances. Dr. Jouney and Dr. Wang will role play the scenario, and then we have a group discussion of the approach to take when you encounter similar situations. Lots of valuable clinical pearls within.

Psychiatry is more than just medicine...there is that whole talking part too!
Today, we welcome Dr. Ricks Warren a psychologist at the University of Michigan to talk about cognitive distortions and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). We delve into both topics to discuss what they are, how they affect a person’s mood, and how CBT works as a treatment. We also tried out some provider/patient role playing to really demonstrate how easily cognitive distortions seep into our thoughts. Hope you enjoy it!

Physician and trainee mental health is a popular topic being researched today. According to a paper published by Shanafelt and Noseworthy of the Mayo Clinic in 2016, over 50% of physicians are experiencing symptoms of burnout! They also describe how this issue can influence quality of care, patient safety, physician turnover, physician turnover and patient satisfaction.
So the Learn Psych Podcast wanted to further explore this topic, so we welcome back Dr. Kate Baker to discuss her role in our department’s house officer mental health program. We also discuss different coping strategies and ways to combat burnout that anyone can benefit from. Hope you enjoy it!
