The Doc, U R… Podcast aims to empower physicians (from medical school and beyond) and combat the stigmas surrounding their mental health and diminish physicians affected by limiting beliefs, working small, and burnout. We will start with the women doctors in our lives and provide conversations geared towards female physicians, but understand this is not just about female physicians.

The objective of the podcast is to de-stigmatize physician mental health. The goals are to humanize physicians, empower female physicians, and bring awareness to their healing needs. The theme this season is “Navigating Mental Health & Medicine: Defining Burnout, An Occupational Hazard.”

This week, Dr. Kiki talks with Dr. Donyell Doram about all the things we need to address when it comes to our mental health. A Biotechnology graduate of Rutgers University, Dr. Doram worked in medical research before developing a passion for providing. She began medical school at Drexel University College of Medicine and later finished her residency at Internal Medicine at Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown PA. Currently, Dr. Doram works as a Nocturnist for the Neurosurgical program at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital.

In this episode:

• How going through medical school affects mental health
• The importance of seeing yourself ten years from now
• The changes in mental health from school to becoming a doctor
• Recognizing, validating, and learning to deal with your emotions

Enjoy as Dr. Doram discusses how becoming an adult has changed her mental health and how to cope with it. Follow Dr. Doram on IG @donyellad or FB @donyell.
