Voices Unheard
The Voices Unheard podcast exists to illuminate and amplify the frequently unheard voices of physicians and surgeons in today’s healthcare system. These bimonthly interview discussions are uncharacteristically transparent revealing the lived experiences of under-represented medical doctors who face unthinkable workplace discrimination and harassment related to gender, sexual identity, race, ethnicity, and other intersectional identities and/or ethical values that do not ’fit” into the status quo. In shining a light on these compelling personal stories we hope to fan the flame of sustainable culture change in medicine and surgery in order to transpose a safe, dignified, equitable, and inclusive workplace to future generations.For more information or to access our library of episodes with the associated links, please visit: www.voicesinmedicine.com

Dr. Katherine Bakke discusses her narrative "But I love my big hair! An Essay on the Discouragement and Difficulty of Becoming a Women Surgeon!" She shares her journey from creative work into surgical training and when things all came together for her. Even after this, she resisted the idea of becoming a surgeon because her values were not always validated by the surgical profession. During this interview, we will dive deeper into how this dichotomy sharpens her choices and the impact it has on her and her colleagues.
