Only Human: Real Clinician Stories, Unfiltered

Clinicians are often viewed as superhuman: expected to have all the answers, be available and professional at all times, be adept at saving lives by day and perfect in their personal lives by night… and somehow know exactly what we want our careers to look like down the line. If we have learned anything in recent years, it’s that clinicians are only human. Whether it’s the surprise of how our careers turned out compared to what we’d expected, the discomfort of setting clear boundaries at work, the exhaustion of juggling clinical and family responsibilities, or using gallows humor to get through the day, it turns out we are whole, complex, flawed human beings, doing our best in an impossible system. In this special audio mini-series, your favorite voices at Hippo Education bring you personal stories, surprising insights, and expert tips to make this clinician life a little easier, brighter, and less lonely. We’re rethinking the myth of clinician infallibility and normalizing the messy imperfections of our actual lives. After all, we are only human. We would love to hear from you!
