95 - Dr. Rachel Shmuts, Psychiatry Residency Program Director at Rowan University

Dr. Rachel Shmuts, DO is a board certified Consult Liaison psychiatrist, with a particular passion for women's mental health, peri- and post-partum depression. She currently serves as program director of the psychiatry residency program at Rowan University, where I am a PGY2. We discuss how to improve the learning experience of residents and medical students. We discuss spreading ourselves too thin by taking on too many responsibilities. We talk about the emotional toll of being a psychiatrist, and lessons we have learned along the way. Dr. Shmuts is one of the highest regarded attending psychiatrists in our medical school, and I am sure you will understand why after listening to this episode.
