About this listen

In this episode of We Are Human, hosts Dr. Tommy Martin and Dr. Tyler Beauchamp sit down with Dr. Leah Rappaport to explore what it means to stay human while practicing medicine. Together, they challenge the outdated belief that social media and self-expression have no place in healthcare, unpacking how platforms like Instagram or TikTok can be tools for advocacy, connection, and authenticity—not distractions. Dr. Rappaport shares her unconventional journey into medicine and the personal experiences that continue to shape her approach to patient care. This conversation goes beyond career paths and clinical training to uncover the deeper truth: that thriving in healthcare means protecting your identity, building community, and rewriting the narrative of what it looks like to be a physician in today’s world.
