In the second episode of Beyond the White Coat, Dr. Zwade Marshall sits down with Dr. Eva Bonsu—hospitalist, author, mentor, and digital storyteller—for a thoughtful, wide-ranging conversation about identity, purpose, and belonging in medicine.

From her early life in Haiti to navigating medical training as a Black woman and immigrant in the U.S., Dr. Bonsu shares how who we are before medicine continues to shape who we become within it. Together, they explore representation, mentorship, and the quiet pressures many physicians face to assimilate rather than show up authentically.

The conversation moves through hospitalist medicine, leadership at the bedside, physician well-being, and the realities of balancing medicine with motherhood and personal sustainability. Dr. Bonsu also reflects on storytelling, social media, and why authenticity—not perfection—is what truly resonates and creates impact.

This isn’t about fitting the mold.

It’s about understanding that there is no single “right” way to be a doctor—and that your story is not a liability, but a source of leadership.

If you’ve ever questioned where you belong in medicine, felt unseen during training, or wondered how to build a career without erasing parts of yourself—this episode is for you.

In the first episode of Beyond the White Coat, Doc2Doc founders Dr. Zwade Marshall and Dr. Kenton Allen have an honest, unscripted conversation about their journeys beyond training - and why this podcast exists.

They reflect on what residency didn’t prepare them for: financial uncertainty, changing priorities, practice ownership, academic leadership, and the tradeoffs doctors don’t see early on. From learning money the hard way to building Doc2Doc out of lived frustration, this episode sets the tone for the show.

This isn’t a finance podcast. It’s a journey podcast.

If you’re questioning your path, early in training, or rethinking what life in medicine can look like - you’re not alone.Medicine doesn’t end at the white coat and your journey doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.
