In this episode of the Go-Getters Podcast, UCA’s Class of 2026 dives into Integrity and Accountability in Practice — exploring how ethics, honesty, and courage shape leadership in healthcare.
Join Olivia, Bailey, Jordan, Savannah, and Kelly as they discuss moral dilemmas, burnout, and the “Fifty Shades of Gray” side of ethical decision-making, alongside insights from Dr. Gina McNew, Internal Medicine physician and Assistant Director of the Outpatient Residency Program at Conway Regional.
From COVID-era challenges to the rise of AI in clinical care, this conversation unpacks what it means to lead with integrity when no one’s watching — and why doing so might just be the most important skill you ever build as an OT.
