Dr Kantida Koysombat - Thriving in Your First Year as a Doctor She’s The Doctor

    • Medicine

Every year across the country on the first Wednesday of August new doctors start the first day of their careers. I remember my first day of FY1 back in 2018 - I was so excited but also VERY nervous. In today’s episode I sit down with Dr Kantida Koysombat - a doctor just finishing her FY1 year - and we talk all about the first year as a doctor. We discuss how we both felt during those first few days and weeks, give advice and tips on how to make it easier, how to manage busy on-call shifts, the importance of looking after yourself, avoiding burnout, eportfolio and our experiences as women in medicine.  We know how you’re feeling and we’ve been through it too. I hope this episode helps you feel more  prepared for your first year as a doctor.
