Energized at Work: Episode 19 with College Health Physician Dr. Marcy Youngdahl
Update: 2024-06-21
Description
I really enjoyed speaking with Dr. Marcy Youngdahl, a Family Practice physician who is the Director of Integrated Counseling and Health Services at Trinity University in San Antonio. I always enjoy speaking with physicians who have been strategic in their career choices, moving from one setting that was not ideal to another setting where they are strongly energized at work.
I was also excited to speak with Dr. Youngdahl because this is an area of medicine that I did not know much about previously. In this conversation, she highlights what drew her to College Health.
- She really appreciates the combination of clinical care, alongside a public health focus.
- She also highlights one of the features of her career that she finds especially energizing: the chance to spend time educating her patients.
- This conversation is also interesting because she describes her previous private practice in Family Medicine, and what prompted her to seek a change.
- Specifically, she describes how important it was for her to practice in alignment with her values, and how that prompted her to go in a new direction with her career.
There are important lessons here on how important it is to connect with your values when you are developing your career.
