This talk will integrate both the speaker's lived experience with serious mental illness as a practicing physician with actionable insights to promote both self growth and institutional change. We will look both inwards and outwards to examine the detractors of mental well-being in medicines. Dr Bullock will identify the ways that our actions and medical culture more broadly may perpetuate the current narratives around mental illness. Finally, he will leverage Kotter's 8 stages of change management to examine how to create change within large institutions.
