Hey Doc! Welcome back to another episode. In this empowering episode, I sit down with the incredible Dr. Katrina Gipson, a health equity advocate and trailblazing emergency medicine physician. From her roots in Ann Arbor, Michigan, to becoming a board-certified physician at Emory University and the inaugural Health Policy Fellowship Director at Grady Memorial Hospital, Katrina’s journey is a testament to resilience and purpose.

We dive deep into the intersection of medicine, advocacy, and personal growth, discussing how our shared experiences as Black women in medicine shape our approach to leadership, boundaries, and creating change. Katrina opens up about her passion for writing as a tool for advocacy, sharing how her lived experiences inform her powerful op-eds and her thought-provoking podcast, Culture Shock Therapy.

This conversation is packed with insights on using your voice to create impact, challenging systems of oppression, and embracing your unique talents—whether through writing, speaking, or showing up authentically in spaces not designed for you. If you’ve ever felt like your career could be more, or wondered how to turn your passions into purpose, this episode is for you.

And before we wrap up, don’t forget to check out Katrina’s podcast, Culture Shock Therapy, for a deeper dive into health equity and the social drivers shaping our world.
