#69 Stuttering Doctor Treats All with Joseph Cornett

TranscendingX - Raw Conversations and Practical Tips to Break Through Stuttering, Communication Fears, and Become Who You Truly Are

Joseph is finishing medical school this year at Columbia University in New York City and plans to begin a combined residency in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics. He hopes to work in global health for people of all ages and in under-resourced settings, and especially with adolescents and invisible struggles. Joseph’s experiences in healthcare and psychology include the Yale Child Study Center, New York-Presbyterian Hospital, the Queensland Centre for Mental Health Research (Australia), the Public Health Foundation of India, and Kijabe Hospital (Nairobi). He is an avid pianist-keyboardist and has found joy in leading and learning from such diverse music groups as the Broadway Haven Players and the Yale Gospel Choir. Joseph has had a stutter since the age of six, and his experience of stuttering has deepened his own development and identity in profound ways. Joseph hopes this audio format provides some personal insights and a feeling of solidarity with others whose stutters have impacted their own lives in unique and perhaps similar ways.
