After an extended break from the podcast, Dr. Bybee returns with a special episode to share a personal story that shaped her career path in physician well-being.
This story from her early career reveals how confronting toxic medical culture led her to create the support systems she desperately needed during her own training.
It also highlights how she:
• Developed from personal advocate to Wellness Director supporting 400+ trainees annually
• Created the support system she wished existed during her own training
• Emphasized that trauma exposure should never be normalized in medicine
• Advocated for processing experiences rather than suppressing them
If you're looking to get started on transforming your own work environment, this is your podcast. Small steps are the first steps to transformation.
