How This Doctor Escaped Trauma And Found Hope in Canada (Ft. Dr. Olga Decker)

Feeling burned out in the U.S. medical system? Dr. Olga Decker was too, until she made the leap to British Columbia. In this episode of the Interesting MD Podcast, Dr. Decker shares her powerful story: from immigrating from Ukraine to practicing medicine during Hurricane Katrina, to finally finding peace and purpose as a physician in Kamloops, BC. She dives into why she left U.S. medicine, citing burnout, long hours, and school safety concerns, and gives an incredibly helpful breakdown of the immigration and licensure process for physicians considering a similar move. Rob Beck and Dr. Decker offer practical advice, encouragement, and reassurance for doctors who are ready for a better work-life balance and a more supportive healthcare system.   Podcast Link: The Interesting MD Podcast  YouTube Link: The Interesting MD  Website Link: https://www.interestingmd.com/ Have a content suggestion?
