In this episode, Dr. Hayley Wickenheiser—Olympic gold medalist, NHL executive, and emergency medicine physician talks about how her experience as a professional athlete prepared her for the high-stakes world of medicine and how she balances working in emergency medicine with her role with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Takeaways:
Balancing two demanding careers—Dr. Wickenheiser manages a full-time role in the NHL while working shifts in emergency medicine.
Sports and medicine share common skills, such as teamwork, resilience, and handling high-pressure situations.
Transitioning from sports to medicine required discipline and adaptability, traits she developed as a professional athlete.
Emergency medicine provides flexibility, allowing her to maintain both her passion for hockey and a career in healthcare.
The importance of mentorship and role models, especially for women in both sports and medicine, is crucial to success.
