How do you cope with stress? Why do some give up, while others persevere? Listen as med student Jordyn Feingold and resident Benny Laitman, MD, PhD, explain how they cope with everyday stress. Each detail their unique circumstances, including the terrifying experience of performing a first surgery, facing pressure to succeed, and taking on an overwhelming course load. Learn how reframing stressful thoughts, facing fears, and practicing self-care has helped them overcome these challenges and avoid burnout.
