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 speaks with Dr. Mary Cantey. After attending Syracuse University for her undergraduate degree, Dr. Cantey graduated with honors from Rutgers New Jersey Medical School. She has over 19 years of experience in the medical field and was recently named NJ Top Doc in 2020. Board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and the American Board of Pediatrics, Dr. Cantey owns and practices at the Mary Daisy Cantey MD Carolina Medical Associates LLC in New Jersey.

In this episode:

• Gaining the confidence to pursue medicine
• How coming from a large, Southern family taught strength
• Calling out unfair treatment during rounds
• Learning to set boundaries with patients to prevent overworking
• The positive changes found in the wake of Covid

Enjoy as Dr. Cantey talks about letting go of the past to carry on into the future.
