The fangirling is real on this week’s episode of The WoMed as your hosts welcome badass sports medicine physician Dr. Julia Bruene to the pod. Now working for some of the most elite teams in the country, Dr. Bruene shares how she got to where she is and goes into her love for the spectacle of sport. She speaks to imposter syndrome, burnout, and finding what she actually likes for her own creative outlet. This leads your hosts to discuss Julia's incredible podcast, Your Doctor Friends, that highlights the importance of building bridges between people (especially women) in medicine, and the value of providing information to the public that is normally behind barriers. She also discusses her role as a female in a male-dominated field, a day in the life in the sports medicine world, the unique reality of professional athletes’ medical information being public knowledge, and the world of college sports. This episode is as hilarious as it is informative, and we hope you enjoy!
