Just ask Dr. Julie Wei, director of pediatric otolaryngology at Akron Children’s Hospital and author of two books. In this episode of the BackTable ENT podcast, Dr. Wei discusses her third book “Safeguarding Physician Wellbeing” with podcast host Dr. Gopi Shah. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSOR PearsonRavitz https://pearsonravitz.com/backtable --- SYNPOSIS First, Dr. Wei shares her journey to authorship, which grew out of her efforts as an advocate for physician wellness. Then, she delves into topics covered in her book, including personal relationships, finances, fertility, and career growth.
