Episdoe 80- Legacy is as Legacy goes with Dr. Turner

MelaninWhiteCoats Podcast

On this episode, we talk about the importance of the formation of black dynasties especially in medicine. What does it mean to have a father and a sister who is in the field of OB/GYN and then another sister who is also in Family Medicine? With only 5 % of physician being black, Dr. Turner talks about his role in being a mentor and also how his father inspired him to follow his own personal goals within medicine. Not only that, but we talk about how he has built a significant social media following. He currently has amassed 150K followers on IG. Dr. Turner is transparent about not matching into his intial intended specialty of Orthopedics and how that laid the groundwork for his future in Family Medicine residency and then Sports Medicine. Not everything is what it seems. Sometimes the journey we have for ourselves is not the journey God intended for us. We speak on his passions within Sports Medicine. It is a different world being a doc on the sidelines of a MMA fight vs the National Football League. What is that feeling like of finally being an attending and being late if you want to? We talk about that and MORE! TAP IN!
