Drawing from her own journey and the stories of others, Dr. Buchanan shares eye-opening insights into the emotional toll the COVID-19 pandemic has taken on physicians and healthcare providers — and what recovery looks like on the other side.
As an ambassador for the Lorna Breen Foundation and the author of Emotional Flatline, Dr. Buchanan offers a candid, compassionate conversation about burnout, resilience, and the path back to purpose. She also discusses her contribution to the acclaimed anthology Healing in Color, amplifying voices of healing and hope in communities of color.
