Description

Note: This episode contains a discussion about suicide and suicidality.

Doctors have some of the best access to mental health resources, yet they have nearly double the risk of suicide when compared to non-health care workers. On this week’s episode of “Beyond the White Coat,” host AAMC President and CEO David J. Skorton, MD, talks to Justin Bullock, MD, MPH, and Yunyu Xiao, PhD, about the stigmas that surround mental health in the medical profession and how those stigmas trickle down into patient care.
Tune in to hear more about why it’s important for health care workers to take care of their own health and some ways that individuals and medical schools and teaching hospitals can create more supportive, inclusive environments.
