During the COVID-19 pandemic, people all over the world flung open their windows and yelled their heartfelt gratitude for the doctors, nurses, ambulance drivers, and myriad others working tirelessly on the front lines, putting their own lives at risk to care for those affected. Yet despite such support, millions of medical workers experienced unprecedented levels of fatigue, burnout, and trauma.
In this elegant and small volume, Drs. Chopra and Vij have written a heartfelt ode to those starting out in the healthcare professions, offering them the much-needed wisdom and inspiration to help them on their journey. Here, they discuss the importance of becoming a lifelong learner and innovator, the importance of mentorship, and the power of listening to patients with a “beginner’s mind.”
Letters to a Young Doctor illustrates, through numerous examples and inspiring stories, that there are literally hundreds of paths to success.
