Clinicians are often referred to as heroes for the long hours we work and the life saving work that we do. However, this idea of the "invincible" doctor often does a disservice to our profession and patients by creating the idea that disease and illness are only experienced by our patients. Our guests, Dr. Justin Bullock and Dr. Mansi Sheth, share their stories of going through medical training with a chronic illness and discuss the limitations of our medical system in doing so. Trigger warning: This episode discusses suicide and suicidal ideation. Learning Objectives: Define physical and mental disability as outlined by the Americans with Disabilities Act. List two criteria the ACGME requires residency programs to fulfill for residents with disabilities. Identify the most common types of clinical and didactic accommodations provided by institutions for physicians in training. Credits:Guest: Dr. Justin Bullock, Dr. Mansi ShethCo-hosts/Producers: Dr. Pooja Jaeel, Dr. Sarah TakimotoExecutive Producer: Dr. Tammy Lin Co-Executive Producers: Dr. Pooja Jaeel, Dr. Tiffany LeungSenior Producers: Dr. Maggie Kozman, Dr. DJ GainesEditor/Assistant Producer: Joanna JainProduction Assistants: Clara Baek, Likitha AradhyulaWebsite/Art Design: Ann TruongMusic: Chris DingmanConnect with us on Instagram and X at @TheDEIShift and via email at thedeishift@gmail.com!

Episode Description: Religious and spiritual diversity is not always welcomed, or even tolerated, in healthcare. In our talk with Chaplain Ermanno Willis, we learn how vital it is to include a patient's spiritual beliefs into their care, and how to go about doing this using validated tools to collect a patient's Spiritual History, just like their Social or Sexual History. We also discuss the importance of creating a learning/work environment that allows for a diversity of belief systems among healthcare providers themselves.Learning Objectives:1. Summarize the evidence showing that many more patients want their spiritual lives addressed by their healthcare providers than are currently being addressed.2. Describe evidence-based examples of the positive impacts of religion and spirituality on health.3. Identify the steps of one of the validated tools for collecting a patient’s Spiritual History (just like the Social and Sexual History).4. Assess how implicit biases contribute to how (un)welcoming learning and work environments are toward differing religious/spiritual belief systems.Show notes & Transcript available:https://www.thedeishift.com/episode-10.htmlTwitter: @thedeishiftInstagram: @thedeishiftWebsite: https://www.thedeishift.com/E-mail: thedeishift@gmail.comCredits:Guest: Mr. Ermanno WillisCo-hosts/Producers: Dr. Maggie Kozman, Dr. Brittane ParkerExecutive Producer: Dr. Tammy Lin Co-Executive Producers: Dr. Pooja Jaeel, Dr. Tiffany LeungSenior Producers: Dr. Maggie Kozman, Dr. DJ GainesEditor/Assistant Producer: Deepti YechuriProduction Assistants: Clara Baek, Lynn NguyenWebsite/Art Design: Ann TruongMusic: Chris DingmanConnect with us on Instagram and X at @TheDEIShift and via email at thedeishift@gmail.com!
