A Call for Change: Fixing A Broken Medical Training System | Jake Goodman | TEDxUGA

Medical training practices in the United States haven’t changed much since formal residency programs were first introduced in 1897. A series of unaddressed problems within these practices have perpetuated mental health challenges within the medical profession. In this talk, Dr. Jake Goodman brings awareness and promotes advocacy to further the discussion on medical training improvements that are necessary to better protect the mental health and care of both physicians and patients. Jake Goodman is a Miami-based psychiatry resident physician. With more than 2.1 million followers, Dr. Goodman is a mental health activist and social media content creator focused on fighting stigma and discrimination while empowering those experiencing mental health challenges to seek help. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
