In the latest episode of the Black Doctors podcast, host Steven chats with Dr. Dionne Adaora Ibekie and Dr. Maleeha Mohiuddin, both anesthesiologists and creators of the Ivy Drip podcast. The episode delves into their individual journeys in the world of anesthesiology. Maleeha details her transition from biotech consulting in Cherry Hill, New Jersey to Boston’s medical scene, fueled by a deep passion for public health, which led to the inception of the Ivy Drip Podcast. Conversely, Dionne’s path was more conventional, tracing her early interest in medicine back to her childhood in the Chicago suburbs, and emphasizing the importance of mentorship, particularly the support she received from Maleeha during their Brigham residency.
The conversation also touches upon the challenges faced during residency, especially in top-tier medical programs like Brigham. Both doctors share their experiences of the institution’s nurturing environment, its emphasis on representation, and its provision for work-life balance. Steven further highlights the enduring relationships formed during such rigorous training phases. The episode provides an in-depth exploration into confronting prevalent white spaces in medicine and managing imposter syndrome. It promises invaluable insights for anyone in the medical profession or those keen to understand the experiences of these two accomplished doctors.
