Send us Fan Mail       Welcome back to Season 4. In this opening episode I am delighted to introduce Dr Tammie Chang to the podcast. Tammie is a board-certified pediatric oncologist, award-winning author, TEDx speaker, leadership coach, podcast host and fierce national advocate for cultural change in healthcare. She is the Co-Founder of Pink Coat, MD, the Co-Founder and Director of ELEVATE, the American Medical Women's Association’s Leadership Development Program for Women Physicians, and the Medical Director of Provider Wellness for MultiCare Health System.             She is the award-winning author of Boundaries for Women Physicians, the co-author of How to Thrive as a Woman Physician, and the creator and host of the LeadHER Podcast for Women Physicians. She has received numerous awards including Women We Admire’s Top 50 Women Leaders of Washington for 2022, the 2022 American Stevie Business Awards Gold Maverick of the Year and Woman of the Year, the 2022 Stevie American Women in Business Gold Woman of the Year in Healthcare Award, and Health 2.0’s 2022 Outstanding Healthcare Leadership Award.        I was fortunate to meet with Tammie at The Stanford WellMD CWO course in 2022 and she has been instrumental in continuing our alumni group's connection facilitating regular peer mentoring sessions.        In this episode we discuss her own story of severe burnout and depression and progress towards a place of thriving and leading change in clinician wellbeing. Our conversation revisits and develops past podcast topics including values and values alignment, identity, setting boundaries, personal and professional wellbeing and fulfillment,  clinician coaching and leadership development.              Tammie describes the investment, support and collaborative work that drives her organisational wellbeing leadership role.       Season 4 will have a focus on innovation and entrepreneurship  and as recent recipient of several awards for her work in these areas, Tammie shares her learning and experience to date.  I am inspired and encouraged, thank you Tammie.      Links/References:More about Dr Tammie Chang  MDTEDx TalkWomen Doctors are Struggling in Silencehttps://youtu.be/p9ytQa_hW70 Websiteswww.tammiechangmd.comwww.pinkcoatmd.comSocial Media IG: @tammiechangmd and @pinkcoat_mdTwitter: @tammiechangmd and @pinkcoat_mdFB: tammiechangmd and PinkCoatMDLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tammie-chang-md-254821195/Please see links for doctors in distress Australasia in show notes of this past episode :https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-mind-full-medic-podcast/id1513559414?i=1000499606952The Mind Full Medic Podcast is proudly sponsored by the MBA NSW-ACT Find out more about the charitable organisation supporting doctors and their families and/ or donate today at www.mbansw.org.auDisclaimer: The content in this podcast is not intended to constitute or be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
