Series Trailer
A 10-part audio documentary series on The Nocturnists podcast, Shame in Medicine: The Lost Forest explores how shame manifests in medical culture.
Shame is ubiquitous in healthcare. Shame experiences in healthcare workers contribute to burnout, depression, suicidality, impaired empathy, disengagement from learning, social isolation, diminished physical wellness, unprofessional behavior, and altered professional identity formation — all challenges that continue to vex the medical community and lead to poor health outcomes.
Hosted by Emily Silverman, MD and produced in collaboration with the Shame and Medicine project at the University of Exeter, this podcast series breaks the silence about shame in medical practice, sharing intimate stories told by healthcare workers from across the globe. "Shame in Medicine: The Lost Forest" starts on September 13.
