In this video, I respond to some of the most intense reactions—both supportive and critical to my Doximity article, “Why Medicine's Definition of Professionalism Needs to Change.” As a psychiatry resident, I’ve experienced firsthand how professionalism can be weaponized in medical training, especially when you challenge the status quo.From online hate to personal attacks, I’m diving into the raw and sometimes brutal world of internet criticism. But more importantly, I’m using this moment to shed light on the hidden curriculum in medicine, share my own experiences with discrimination and bullying, and advocate for a more compassionate, inclusive, and mentally healthy medical culture.Let’s talk openly about what needs to change—and why we can’t afford to stay silentDoximity Article: https://www.doximity.com/newsfeed/0d4fa7b0-5d11-4ea1-9801-e31e10087de6Become Member for $1/month to get EARLY access to videos & exclusive videos:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_Ypzlapvju3XZ-8rgjF8Vw/joinVisit website at https://medpsycmoss.com for transcripts, blog posts, and resources for medical students, health care professionals, and patientsLet's Connect: @stephmossmdInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/stephmossmd/Twitter/X: ⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/medpsymoss⁠⁠⁠ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephmossmd?_t=8kS9kVfKjUc&_r=1Listen to Podcast "Life as a Patient-Doctor:Youtube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUfheMZYKjA8xJN3_tzjvvCWGn8HKh_Rt&si=erIIirgQyAsEkBR4 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/685WDhQHXulbCmh2siIOp3Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/life-as-a-patient-doctor/id1719637283***This episode is for educational purposes only and is not intended nor implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

In this episode, Dr. Moss shares a deeply personal story of almost being dismissed from medical school multiple times for USMLE STEP failure, Leave of Absence, and "Professionalism" before finally graduating with her medical doctorate. Dr. Moss, now a psychiatry resident and co-chief resident for medical student education, recalls the academic and emotional challenges faced, including failing USMLE & Medschool exams, and dealing with the hidden curriculum of medical education. The video emphasizes the weaponization of 'professionalism' and the need to redefine it to promote growth and empathy among future doctors. This candid narrative aims to support others facing similar struggles and advocate for a more understanding medical education system.
