About this episode
Dr. Joanna Georgakas discusses her journey in psychiatry and her work on gender equity in medicine.
In this episode of Our Voices, Our Future , we sit down with Dr. Joanna Georgakas—psychiatrist, geriatric psychiatry fellow, feminist scholar, and the founder of the original Doctor and ___: Multidimensional Women in Medicine podcast series. Dr. Georgakas shares her personal and professional journey, from her early interest in psychiatry to her leadership in gender equity work within medicine. During this episode, we talk about the realities of the “leaky pipeline” for women in medicine, how mentorship and advocacy shape career trajectories, and why gender inequities persist even within the most prestigious academic institutions. We also explore the role of organizations like AMWA in fostering community and change, and reflect on the lessons Dr. Georgakas would share with her past self, and with the next generation of physicians committed to equity.
