Maria Simbra MD, MA, MPH
Award-winning journalist and author
As a doctor, you deal with unique stressors and experience a multitude of life-changing encounters every day. Have you thought about writing it down as a way to channel your thoughts and feelings?
Whether it's an essay, chapter, video script, blog post, or op-ed, doctors can find writing an effective way to process emotions, make sense of events, and find meaning in adversity and the human condition. Writing can be cathartic, soothing, and validating.
I'm sure you have stories that need to be expressed. I can help guide you.
With my background as a neurologist and 15 years in patient care, I understand what you're trying to say. With my master's degree in journalism and 19 years of experience as a journalist with CBS Pittsburgh, I can help you find your better words and better messages, so you can put your best stories on the page.
