Dr. Justin Bullock is a current Internal Medicine Resident in San Francisco, California. Justin is passionate about medical education, and diversity in medicine. His article in the New England Journal of Medicine titled “Suicide—Rewriting my story” tells the story of his battle with Bipolar Disorder and suicidality during undergraduate and graduate medical education. In this podcast, Dr. Bullock and Dr. Meeks discuss the critical nature of disability inclusion and a supportive culture for mental health in medical education and training. They touch upon medical student mental health and the reality that many learners share feelings and experiences of depression and suicidality—yet never discuss these feelings, failing to engage in help-seeking behavior—especially once they transition to residency.
