Creative Careers In Medicine Podcast

Associate Professor Marie Bismark turned her medicine and law degrees into a successful medical, medicolegal and research career. She's currently retraining and working as a consultation liaison psychiatry registrar with Melbourne Health. This year, a team she's leading at the University of Melbourne received $1m in NHMRC investigator grant funding to research why health practitioners in Australia have higher rates of burnout, depression, and suicide than other occupations. The project hopes to identify new ways to better support doctors to thrive in their professions. Marie also talks about managing her own personal struggles, and ways that doctors can support their colleagues throughout their shared journeys.
