Dr. Sapna Shah Haque shares her mission to understand mental health challenges of docs, how to build skills to navigate the medicine and find joy
So honored to spend time learning from Sapna Shah-Haque
She is a podcaster, doc, author and business owner.
She is an internist, has an MBA and is a Mom to amazing little ones.
She started her podcast, The Worthy Physician to build a platform to normalize the struggles of docs including burnout, isolation, mental health struggles and suicidality.
(Trigger warning, discussion of completed doc suicide)
She shares her desire to understand the struggles of those considering suicide and how to help docs from loosing what is important to them.
She has built another resource for docs, a workbook, to give women docs a place to focus on preserving their value and not loosing what is important about themselves while practicing medicine. (links in the show notes of the video)
Enjoy our discussion and know that there are resources and professionals for those suffering from mental health challenges, reach out to your medical team for care, you at NOT alone.
She is also a graduate of my WAG program (Women Doc Accountability group) and shares her experience in our group and how the power of support and accountability helped her birth her new workbook for women docs.
Such an honor to know mission driven docs!
