ABOUT THIS SHOW

Join Dr. Moss, MD (@stephmossmd) a PGY2 Psychiatry Resident who shares her journey navigating life as both a patient and a doctor. This is a platform which aims to share diverse and inspiring stories within the medical community. Through sharing her own lived experience and interviewing other doctors, students, and health care workers, we hope to demonstrate the humanity in medicine. We delve into crucial topics like Disabilities, Mental Health, Sexual Health, trauma-informed care, and the unique experiences of having a marginalized identity in medicine.
