Pediatrics, passion, and how to take care of ourselves to take care of our community with Dr. Ingrid

Today we get the awesome opportunity to interview Dr. Ingrid Walker-Descartes, Pediatrician and Child Abuse expert, who works in almost all the spaces, clinical and direct patient care, medical education, administrative and leadership who talks to us today about how we define burnout and resiliency, how covid changed how we see ourselves and our work, discuss the importance of the social determinants of equity, how representation across the board matters in building accountable systems and how it all affects  pediatrics and the health care work force.
