"As we slowly emerge from the physical withdrawal required during the pandemic, the emotional toll of this past year will become increasingly apparent. Complicated problems demand organized, financially-supported solutions. We need a mental health infrastructure bill now, and we need to start rebuilding."

Jennifer Reid is a psychiatrist and can be reached at her self-titled site, Jennifer Reid, M.D.

She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "We need a mental health infrastructure bill."

This episode is sponsored by the Stanford Physician Leadership Certificate Program.

For the aspiring physician leader, leadership skills are one of the most important and influential traits that will elevate your overall success.

Leadership impacts nearly every aspect of your career in a complex and diverse health care system. Including how you effectively communicate and influence those around you, how you respond to conflict and make important key decisions, how you develop your team, and even how you navigate social dynamics in your workplace.

Stanford Medicine recognizes the need to foster physician leaders in health care. That is why they developed the physician leadership certificate program. This 6-month cohort-based program includes live virtual sessions, self-paced learning modules, professional coaching, a capstone project, and much more: Providing C-suite education for the non-C-suite physician leader.

They encourage all early career and aspiring physician leaders to apply. To find out more about the program or apply, visit physicianleadership.stanford.edu.
