We often view doctors as infallible experts, but they experience the fragile realities of life just like the rest of us. You’re invited to an evening with psychiatrist and author Michael Myers, MD. He will be discussing his latest, and most compelling book, Physicians with Lived Experience: How Their Stories Offer Clinical Guidance. This presentation bridges the gap between patient and health professional, sharing the profound insights gained when healers are felled by psychiatric illness and must seek help for themselves. Whether you work in healthcare or simply appreciate stories of human vulnerability and resilience, you will walk away with a deeper understanding of empathy and the hidden strength behind the medical mask.

Dr Myers is a Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University in Brooklyn, NY. He is an award-winning clinician and internationally recognized specialist in physician health. You can read more about him at www.michaelfmyers.com.
