A Day in the Life of an ER Doc

Aug 20, 2026

Episode Description

Every day, emergency departments see people on some of the hardest days of their lives. In this episode of Road to Resilience, host Stephen Calabria speaks with Dr. Nicholas Gavin, an emergency physician at Mount Sinai, about what it really means to work in the emergency department. 

Dr. Gavin offers a simple but powerful perspective on resilience: it is a muscle that can be strengthened. By looking back at how we have navigated adversity before, we can draw on those experiences to face whatever comes next.
