A podcast clip with Dr Rachael Liebmann. She says: "Our caseworkers are the kindest and most supportive people I have ever met. If I were in crisis, I would be absolutely happy to reach out to them and they will very definitely talk you through and help you to, um, to make an application. And again, the majority of the people we help go back to work. So this isn't relying on charity. It isn't a one-way ticket. This is a period of time that we can help you to get through until you get back on your feet and back to work."
A clip from the RMBF podcast. Dr Rachael Liebmann says: "One of the things that I know is really concerning our young doctors at the moment is whether or not they're going to have jobs. It is a very precarious job market with a lot of hurdles that they need to pass to even be considered for specialty training. We always had some competition. We always had some jobs that were more popular than others, but people weren't looking at being an unemployed doctor whenever I qualified. You knew you would get a job. Because people need doctors. Well, we still need doctors, but for some reason we have unemployed doctors, and I think that really speaks for itself."
A clip of the RMBF Podcast. Dr Rachel Liebmann: "I think one of the most important things about the RMBF for me is the fact that we get so many doctors back into work. And when you talk about charity and charitable giving, it's about that paying it forward. It's even more important with the RMBF 'cause when you do help somebody to get back to work as a doctor, you know you're also helping all of the people that they can help because of their job as a doctor."
