A Candid Conversation With Author and Artist ShirleyWhirl, MD

We are starting the New Year by kicking off Season 5 of The Black Doctors Podcast!! Our first episode is with Dr. Shirlene Obuobi , the creative behind ShirleyWhirl, MD , the author of “On Rotation”, and a current Cardiology Fellow. We chat about our time working together (Shirlene was a medical student when I was a resident at the University of Chicago Medical Center). 

• Listen to Dr. Obuobi describe the inspiration behind some of her incredibly moving comic strips.
• Learn how you can manage your time in medical school and residency without stifling your creativity.
• We chat about the “minority tax” and how to support efforts in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion while avoiding burnout.
• Dr. Obuobi chats about her first publication, “On Rotation: A Novel” which comes out June 21, 2022 (but is available for pre-order)
