Only Human: Real Clinician Stories, Unfiltered

Clinicians are expected to be superhuman: to have all the answers, be available to everyone, be professional at all times, save lives on shift, and then be parents of the year at home, and somehow know exactly what we want our careers to look like down the line. If we have learned anything in recent years, it’s that clinicians are only human. Whether it’s the surprise of how our careers turned out compared to what we’d expected, the discomfort of setting clear boundaries at work, the exhaustion of juggling clinical and family responsibilities or using gallows humor to get through the day, it turns out: we are whole, complex, flawed human beings, doing our best in an impossible system. In this special audio mini-series, your favorite voices at Hippo Education bring you personal stories, surprising insights, and expert tips and tricks to make this clinician life a little easier, brighter, and less lonely. We’re rethinking the myth of clinician infallibility and normalizing the messy imperfections of our actual lives. After all, we are only human.
