Dr. Christina Kay: Neuropsychologist

Join me and Dr. Kay in a unique episode of In Practice, since Dr. Kay is actually a PhD, not an MD! Dr. Kay sees patients in a clinical setting as a neuropsychologist, interviewing and assessing adults to help diagnose and tailor treatment for a variety of neurological and psychological conditions. We discuss her path towards her present career and how it compares to the work and journey of a medical doctor. This is a great episode for those unsure of non-medical school pathways into clinical, patient-facing work!

Dr. Danielle Pier: Pediatric Neurologist

Join me and Dr. Pier, a pediatric neurologist working at Mass General in an outpatient clinic setting! Dr. Pier and I talk about what led her to a commonly unknown specialty and what she enjoys about her work on the day-to-day. We talk about deciding to work with kids or adults, research or no research, and sub-specializing in pediatric fields.

Dr. Sam Friedman: Family Medicine Physician

Join me and Dr. Sam Friedman, a family medicine physician working at a small private practice in New Jersey! Dr. Friedman is also a Wesleyan alum; we talk about the specialist vs. generalist debate, the beauty of connecting with patients, and how decisions change with experience.

Dr. Denise S. Brown: Physician Entrepreneur

Join me in talking to Denise, once an internal medicine hospitalist now working as a physician executive and advisor! Denise has had a path full of twists and turns, but reminds us to remember who you are and love yourself enough to not let medicine swallow you whole. We talk about her path, why she's made choices and changes, and how medicine builds you up.
