The Prospective Doctor

On this episode we have the sweet and caring Dr. Erkeda DeRouen who is:

☑️Board certified in Family Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine
☑️Host of The Prospective Doctor Podcast
☑️Chapter contributor to the book Medicine Women
☑️Keynote speaker
 
&  passionate about medical student mentorship to help them avoid the pitfalls that she and her colleagues have experienced

She discusses:

Her mentoring journey which began in medical school, residency and now mentors through both the Student National Medical Association and her podcast which she began hosting during the COVID pandemic

How she mentors medical students:
➡️Fostering relationships
➡️How to prepare for a rotation or study for the MCATS
➡️Connects students together with similar interests
➡️Creates virtual group meet-ups for students and alums divided up by specialty

Normalizing the high levels of stress, anxiety, emotion and sadness in the medical field so that students don't feel alone. She wants students to know that there are other people out there rooting for them and supporting them.

Her podcast has allowed her to collect many referral resources for students on many topics and can "triage" students to those experts based on their needs.

Formulating your own "Board of Directors",  individuals that have your best interests in mind, as one individual can't be your go-to person for everything.
