—-  👋 Ready to diversify outside the stock market? EquityMultiple brings you streamlined real estate investing. Access vetted, cash-flowing opportunities from anywhere. Start today, with just $5K, at equitymultiple.com —-  👋 Peer review in medicine is intended to uphold standards of care, but Dr. Tracey O’Connell joins host Dr. Amna Shabbir to expose the troubling phenomenon of "sham peer reviews." These unjust practices are often driven by personal or institutional agendas, disproportionately targeting women, minorities, and marginalized groups. Dr. O’Connell highlights how such reviews lack transparency and can devastate careers, creating a disorienting and isolating experience for physicians. She stresses the importance of seeking healthcare-specific legal counsel, documenting all interactions, and accessing resources like Physician Just Equity and AAPS for support. Together, Dr. O’Connell and Dr. Shabbir emphasize the urgent need for systemic reform to protect doctors and restore trust in the medical profession.   Bio Dr. Amna Shabbir, MD Dr. Amna Shabbir is a physician and podcast host focused on physician recruitment and early career development. She is dedicated to helping healthcare professionals navigate their careers and find fulfillment in their work. Dr. Shabbir's passion for empathy and mental health drives her to explore innovative approaches to improve physician well-being and patient care. Links: LinkedIn: Dr. Amna Shabbir   Tracey O'Connell, MD is a self-described "recovering physician" who expanded her career in radiology to being an educator, speaker, and coach, fostering positive self-worth and sustainable well-being with teens, physicians, and LGBTQ+.  She is a certified facilitator of expressive writing and Brené Brown's shame resilience programs. Her change of direction came after many years of feeling "not enough" as a person, a physician, a parent, or partner. She learned that helping people FEEL better helps them feel BETTER. She has found that reflective writing gives us access to who we really are, helps us gain trust in ourselves and be kinder to ourselves, culminating in a more authentic and wholehearted way of living and belonging to the world.
