Listen "Narrative Medicine in Action Series: The Artistry of Medicine with Hisla Bates"
Episode Synopsis
What happens when a physician rediscovers her inner artist? In this episode of Too Curious MDs, Dr. Hisla Bates shares how art, narrative medicine, and creative expression can heal not only doctors facing burnout, but medicine itself. Dr. Hisla Bates is a psychiatrist, artist, and founder of the Doctor’s Art School, a transformative space where physicians reconnect with their creativity to heal from burnout and rediscover meaning in medicine. Trained at Yale, Mount Sinai, and Harvard, Dr. Bates blends her background in both fashion design and psychiatry to pioneer a deeply integrative approach to physician wellness. Through narrative medicine, expressive arts, and visual storytelling, she invites clinicians to reclaim their imagination, reawaken joy, and reimagine what it means to be whole, both in and outside of the clinic.Dr. Hisla BatesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drhislabates/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.hislabatesmd6065LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hislabatesmd/----Dr. Alya Ahmad, MDLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alya-ahmad-md-0601b190/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drblogger123/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shamyndsWebsite: https://shamynds.com/----Dr. Suraiya Simi Rahman, MD, FAAPLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/suraiya-rahman-palamedicine/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/suraiya.rahman.md/----Too Curious MDsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/toocuriousmds?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qrYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TooCuriousMDs ----Produced by DrTalks: https://drtalks.com/podcast-service/
