Given the current events in Lebanon, Lebanese physicians working there have been in the news extensively lately. Some have chosen to leave in search of a more stable life; some have chosen to stay, and some have chosen not to move back to Lebanon in the first place. We will interview Lebanese physicians working in Lebanon and beyond to get their opinions about the events taking place in Lebanon, the future of medicine in Lebanon, and the role Lebanese physicians play worldwide in their respective fields, and their connections to their home county. We will highlight success stories, stories that were not so successful, and everything in between. Medical students, physicians-in-training, and attending physicians at different points in their careers will be interviewed. We hope you will find this podcast beneficial and exciting!

In a podcast episode co-hosted with MohammadAli Jardali, we discuss mental health in times of conflict with Dr. Maya Bizri, currently psychiatrist at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, OH and previously Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the American University of Beirut Medical Center.
In this episode, we delve into the complex landscape of mental health in Lebanon, especially in these times of deep crises. We discuss access to mental health in this time of war and availability of physicians, psychologists, and insurance coverage.
We examine the role of community support systems, grassroots initiatives, and NGOs in fostering mental well being in the short term during this war, and in the long term dealing with the multiple traumatic episodes people have faced.
