Ed Marks

So before we get to your story, tell us a little bit about like who you are, where'd you grow up?

You know, what was your life like?

Yeah, that's so cool.

I have to ask you, do you guys watch The Pit?

Especially when there's an ED doc involved, but obviously they bring in, not enough is what I'm told.

They don't bring the psychiatrist in enough into the program.

We know a little bit about your background now about why you chose healthcare as a career and why psychiatry?

How did that come about?

Yeah, that's super cool.

So for those who don't know, what's it like to be a residency training director?

No, that's cool.

Yeah.

And you get to influence the next generation of psychiatrists and medicine.

That's so cool.

So cool.

Was there a person in your journey that helped you see who you could be?

I think anyone of substance has had someone help them to get there.

So let's sort of transition into how we got connected, which was through the JAMA article.

But let me start with this.

Was there a pivotal moment in life that fundamentally changed your trajectory?
