Last week was National Women Physicians Day and I wanted to take the time to share a Tedx talk by physician, best selling author, and leadership coach (amongst other things), Dr. Tammie Chang.
I first became acquainted with Dr. Chang after being invited to join the Facebook group she co-founded, Pink Coat, MD. I was pleasantly surprised to see how committed she was to truly helping women in medicine. I have been a part of many physician, women, and wellness groups and it is very rare to find people that are helping physicians stay in the field, instead of leaving for a new career or side gig.
She has written books on the topic of burnout and setting boundaries and also has a podcast – LeadHER.
This Tedx talk is incredibly moving and I think an important step in the right direction toward true wellness in medicine, not only for women physicians but all medical providers. I am so impressed by the honesty and openness and hope we can continue to have talks like this.
I also wanted to share the link to her website, where you can find lots of information on her work and even free resources.
If you know of other physicians doing similar work that I should feature on my blog, please reach out!! Happy National Women Physicians Day and happy Black History Month!
