The Business of Healthcare Podcast with Tara Humphrey #61: Student Doctor and Mental Health Advocate Tash the Medic
Tash the Medic is a Student Doctor and Mental Health Advocate with a huge social media following. At the start of lockdown she set up her social media accounts to document a day in the life of a student doctor and to talk about and breakdown the stigma around mental health. She now has over 6000 followers on Instagram.
Tash joins me this week to share her experiences of using social media to help others. How she has used it to share tips to get into a career in medicine, study tips and her experiences of depression ad anxiety. She shares honestly that it’s ok to not be ok and that you can recover from it.
“My Instagram platform gives me a really good way of breaking down those barriers I’ve set for myself and I try to portray a much more realistic life as a medical student.” Tash the Medic
