On this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Sapna Shah-Haque, a practicing internist in rural Kansas and the host of The Worth Physician podcast — a powerful platform dedicated to elevating physician voices and addressing burnout, well-being, and systemic challenges in healthcare.
Dr. Shah-Haque shares her unconventional journey from electrical engineering to medicine, and how personal tragedy — including her mother's stroke and the loss of a close physician friend to suicide — led her to confront burnout, which she calls a form of "moral injury." These experiences not only reshaped her career, but also sparked a commitment to self-care, healing, and community through storytelling.
We discuss the importance of putting on your own oxygen mask first, the dangers of private equity’s growing influence in healthcare, the rise of AI and her vision for the future: expanding her podcast with a co-host, exploring CME integration, and potentially launching a physician retreat focused on renewal and connection.
Dr. Shah-Haque' s voice is both honest and hopeful — a much-needed reminder that doctors are human, too.
