Welcome! We are your hosts, Dr. Beth Vukin MD and Dr. Kara Wada MD.
We are both physicians with autoimmune diseases and we are here to talk about lessons we didn't learn in medical school. We are here to discuss lessons we learned by practicing medicine with our patients and also as patients ourselves to foster growth and learning amongst everyone: patients, medical providers and anyone wanting to learn more about themselves.

We interview female-identifying physicians, who are also chronic illness patients to connect, collaborate, and share their unique stories and insights learned from navigating the healthcare system.

In this group, we aim to facilitate focused discussions on various topics related to:
-listening to our bodies
-advocating for ourselves and our patients
-finding our way in the face of adversity

Together, we can create a valuable resource that goes beyond the traditional medical school curriculum and brings awareness to the experiences and lessons that shape our journey as physicians and patients.
