Sustainable Well-Being
Dr. Jattu’s journey to become an OBGYN physician would not have been accomplished if it had not been for her well-being. She takes on the advice that students should be very mindful of their own sustainable well-being and not put it as just an afterthought. To maximize the practice for the patients, you have to make sure that you are in the proper headspace to perform your tasks. Mental health transcends from your internal actions and mindset to how you project and communicate with patients.
Branching Out Your Interest
Your journey to becoming a physician is not the same as the rest of your peers. Aside from being in a proper state of mind, you should also consider engaging in interests outside of the practices. It takes skill to be good at what you are doing, but you should also consider if you are happy as well. You can always consider other activities that may also be revenue-generating while pursuing your passion and career.
