We dive into the powerful story of a physician-mother whose world changed with the onset of COVID-19. Our guest, Arian Nachat, a palliative and emergency medicine physician, shares her journey through the pandemic, balancing the demanding roles of mother and doctor. From navigating childcare crises and homeschooling to reimagining her career beyond the confines of traditional health care, she sheds light on the struggles faced by frontline workers. Listen as she reveals how these challenges inspired her to reshape her path, create a health care company addressing critical system gaps, and advocate for a patient-centered, physician-led approach to medicine. Arian Nachat is a palliative and emergency medicine physician. She discusses the KevinMD article, "Mostly miserables: a physician-mother's struggle during COVID-19."
