Hank Shipman is currently in his final year of physical medicine and rehabilitation residency. We started working together in RealMD when he was in medical school. I want to talk about two things in this episode. First, my core desire underneath everything I do is to serve as a witness. This happens in my work with students, with my team, and with the broader communities I get the privilege to work with. The simple act of witnessing the process of someone developing, growing in their life, their identity, finding purpose fills me with energy. It is my highest purpose. I also have been wanting to find a way to highlight the AAMC RISE conference. My dear colleague Shira Kaplan and I have been co-leading this leadership conference for almost 7 years. It’s been an amazing experience to work with her helping national cohorts of second and fourth year medical students develop meaning and purpose, self-awareness, and leadership skills in that order. It has been truly life changing. This episode features Hank delivering his first keynote speech to fourth year 2024 RISE attendees. Witnessing Hank tell his story is a highlight of my career. The fact that it happened at RISE and we could work together again was unforgettable. Side note, Hank references some slides during his speech, but I think the message gets through and is still worthwhile to share. Thank you Hank for telling your story!
