Episode 49: When the Healer Needs Help: Breaking the Stigma Around Mental Health in Medical Training with Anne Messman and Heidi Schrumpf
For this forty-ninth episode of PracticeLink Media Network’s “Surviving and Thriving in Residency” podcast, host Charles Lowry welcomes Dr. Anne Messman of Wayne State University School of Medicine and Dr. Heidi Schrumpf of Marvin Behavioral Health. In this episode, Charles, Dr. Messman and Dr. Schrumpf discuss mental health in medical training and why asking for help can still feel difficult for residents and fellows. They explore the cultural, licensing and confidentiality concerns that can keep clinicians from seeking support, as well as the effects of prolonged stress and burnout. They also discuss how residency programs can create healthier environments by normalizing mental health resources, modeling help-seeking behavior and making support easier to access.
