I had the absolute honor of interviewing Dr. Jody Stern on Hope for Healthcare Podcast! Dr. Stern is Clinical Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery, University of North Carolina School of Medicine, Author of “Grief Connects Us: A Neurosurgeon’s Lessons on Love, Loss, and Compassion”. In our discussion we take a deeper look into Dr. Stern’s own journey of grief, and how he was able to transform his practice, mentoring and leadership training to encompass empathy and compassion. What I love about our conversation is how Dr. Stern also addresses embracing our vulnerability as physicians can help us develop emotional agility, and ultimately more joy in our daily practice of medicine.
