I think that having those moments where you're reminded just so unbelievably vividly of what it means to be at the mass general, what it means to be a physician, I think, are incredibly powerful touchstones.
What does it take to lead over 700 doctors, researchers, and trainees in one of the largest divisions at Mass General? Dr. Katrina Armstrong knows firsthand. Her journey as the physician-in-chief began on an unforgettable day—the Boston Marathon bombing. This episode of 'Charged: Stories from the Women Leading Health Care' delves into her experiences and the lessons she's learned along the way. Dr. Armstrong opens up about the importance of connecting with patients and truly understanding their stories.
She believes that empathy is a cornerstone of exceptional healthcare. Reflecting on the community's incredible response to the Boston Marathon bombing, she shares how this tragic event solidified her commitment to medicine and shaped her approach to leadership. But it's not all smooth sailing. Dr. Armstrong candidly discusses her insecurities as a leader and the challenges of balancing a demanding career with family life.
Her honesty and vulnerability offer a refreshing perspective on what it means to lead with empathy and resilience in the healthcare field. If you're curious about how empathy can transform healthcare or want to hear from a leader who has navigated both triumphs and trials, this episode is a must-listen. Dr. Armstrong's story is not just inspiring—it's a testament to the power of compassion in medicine.
