The Pitt Med Radio Hour

Mental Health in Medical School is now available for streaming! We hope you enjoy! https://soundcloud.com/user-636006100-121559836/tracks Mental Health in Medical School Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others. We can’t base our own worthiness on others’ approval. -Brené Brown ... Med students Lola Adebiyi, Valerie Gobao, and Vivianne Oyefusi (2021) join Rahilla and Maris for a conversation about mental health in medical school. We discuss how to be a good friend for someone who’s going through a tough time, protecting your emotional energy, setting healthy boundaries, and surrounding yourself with people who are rooting for you. We also talk about the importance of normalizing mental health care and the power of sharing your experience. Below are some links and resources from our talk.
