Dr. Maisha Davis is about to get real with us in this episode y’all. Together, we talk about Maisha’s journey into and through medicine, including how living at the intersection of multiple identities has helped them connect deeply with their patients. In addition, Maisha tells us how they have been able to draw radical boundaries in their own career and life journey around what makes them feel alive: arts, culture, and therapy. As a healer and artist, Maisha tells us more about why therapy is so important for learners in medicine/healthcare, how healing in medicine is founded upon listening and bearing witness to patients’ lives, and how art is life-giving and spiritually fulfilling.Bio:Maisha Davis is a Family Medicine physician living in Oakland, CA whose educational path has led them through Stanford, Mills, UCSF, and UC Berkeley. They are dedicated to keeping the “art” in the “art of healing” by thinking outside the box and centering patients’ humanity. Maisha’s healing focus revolves around bringing Integrative medicine to Black and Brown communities, queer and trans folks, individuals living with HIV, and adolescents. They love music, sci-fi, culture, want to be a DJ, and can be found at innumerable concerts, theaters, museums, and dance parties throughout the Bay area.
