About this listen
What happens when you refuse to be one-dimensional in medicine?
In this episode of Surgeon, Interrupted, Dr. Alyssa Cole (@doctor.cole), a PM&R physician specializing in cancer rehabilitation, shares her journey of weaving multiple identities into her career: physician, MBA, pageant competitor, children’s book author, and content creator.
We talk about:
– Why authenticity, boundaries, and “mosaic careers” matter in medicine
– Navigating social media as a physician without compromising professionalism
– Pageantry, advocacy, and the lessons she brings back into the clinic
– Redefining “influence” in medicine and turning it into inspiration
– How Gen Z doctors are reshaping medicine around well-being and humanity
Dr. Cole’s story is a reminder that being human isn’t a liability in medicine—it’s the point.
