What this episode covers

“This pandemic has presented a tipping point for emergency physicians,” says Dr. Mary Nan Mallory. “It's a stressful profession to begin with...but as time has gone on, I think we're gaining control.” Dr. Mallory, who is also President of the American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM), often describes her interest in emergency medicine as accidental tourism. Working in the industry for over 30 years, her specialty is only the second youngest in the house of medicine. In this episode, Dr. Mallory joins host Jannah Amiel to discuss the importance of time-sensitive care and why this industry has become even more critical during the pandemic. Tune in to learn about the importance of ABEM certification, the increasing involvement of emergency physicians in public health, and how COVID has brought different professions together. Discover, too, Dr. Mallory's advice to “focus on the medicine” and seize this moment to lean into your education.
