Episode 059 | In this Special Edition of Stand Up (for) Doctors! with Kim Downey, we're celebrating the launch of White Coats, Courageous Hearts with four of the physician-authors who are reclaiming their voices and humanity in a system that too often silences them and one very special advocate -- the extraordinary Kim Downey, PT -- who is leading the way in advocating for physicians from the other side of the stethoscope.

Tune in to this heartwarming and jovial conversation amongst friends as Drs. Adam Harrison, Dawn Sears, Michael Hersh, and Stephen Lewellis share the stories behind the chapters they authored in White Coats, Courageous Hearts, which was published on June 2nd, 2025 thanks to a remarkable effort by Kim and her publishing team.

From battling workplace bullying and balancing motherhood in medicine, to breaking the silence around male vulnerability and reimagining the power of storytelling, this episode is packed with truth, courage, and connection. This is what advocacy in action sounds like.

As Kim says, let’s stand up for doctors and build a healthier future for all of us — TOGETHER!

If you enjoy this episode, please give Kim's show some love because doctors deserve to be seen, heard, and healed.
