Wellbeing in Medicine Podcast (formerly the MedEdWell Podcast)


Sep 13, 2022

Today we are excited to have Dr. Mary Leung in our show. Dr. Mary Leung is working full-time as a hematologist and a medical oncologist and enjoying life coaching for physicians. In this episode, you will hear how she went from feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and overworked as a full-time clinical physician to helping other physicians live better lives and enjoy their work.

With coaching, she was able to cut her clinic day by more than 2 hours a day. When she looked back, what seemed to be impossible became possible. She can never go back to (charting) where she was. Listen to her story and the tips she shares in this episode.
