Description

Send us a textWhen I think of someone too busy to write a book, Dr. Amy McMichael immediately comes to mind. She juggles her roles as a professor in the Department of Dermatology at Wake Forest School of Medicine, a practicing dermatologist, and a mentor to countless students. She has every reason not to add “author” to her already full plate. But in our conversation on the Authors Who Lead podcast, it becomes clear that it’s her deep commitment to mentorship that fuels her decision to write her book, Perfect Match: Secure Your Residency Spot and Achieve Greatness in Dermatology.Timestamp:00:00 Inspired to write a book05:31 Editing process and writing insights08:15 Transitioning from handwriting to dictation11:27 Book gains academic support15:12 Joyful writing and mentorship reflection17:03 Mentorship: my lifelong passion18:53 Mentorship in medical education23:01 Supportive mentorship in dermatology28:19 Diverse feedback on written work30:34 Human essays in dermatology34:08 Guidance completes the journey35:58 Dr. Maya Angelou’s adviceFull show notesCOMMUNITY PROGRAMS📚 Write and Publish your bookCONNECT📷 Instagram🎬 TikTok👫🏻 Facebook💼 LinkedIn🐦‍⬛ Twitter🤝🏻 Apply to be a GuestLEAVE A REVIEW✍🏻 Review on Apple Podcasts✍️ Review on Spotify🖱️ Episode Webpage
