Dr Yoon Kwon Choi is a Stage 3 psychiatry advanced trainee at Mater Hospital, Clarence Street in Brisbane, Queensland

My day begins at the gym, because apparently, I'm that person now. In all seriousness though, moving first thing keeps me grounded, and in a job where we're constantly encouraging others to look after themselves, it feels a bit rich not to do the same.

I usually arrive at the office early. That pre-clinical window is sacred, reserved for emails and committee work. Between QPTA, the Bi-National Committee for Trainees, and a handful of other RANZCP committees, if I don't carve out that time, I spend the rest of the day playing catch-up.

Then handover, the daily download of who needs what and where the team's energy is best directed. No two handovers really look alike, which keeps things interesting.

Ward rounds are where the good stuff happens. Collaborative, occasionally chaotic, always rewarding. The best clinical insights rarely come from the loudest voice in the room, so I try to make space for nursing, allied health, and families to be properly heard.

Outreach reviews are a regular highlight, particularly through Clarence Street youth drug service. Meeting young people on their terms, in their world, is some of the most meaningful work I do. I'm also always on the lookout for College Work-Based Assessment opportunities throughout the day, as those formally teachable moments are everywhere if you're paying attention.

As the resident Gen Z on the team, one of my key strengths is translating new slang for our millennial-and-above colleagues, especially when I catch the look of quiet confusion as a young person earnestly explains that something is 'giving'.

Supervision is the anchor of my week. It's where I get to think out loud, sit with challenging scenarios, and remember that good psychiatry is reflective, not just reactive.

I try (try) to finish my notes before I leave. Some days that's aspirational. Then it's off to spin class with former colleagues, where I can count on loud music, brighter lights, and a welcome reminder that joy belongs in a sustainable career too.

Evenings are for cooking something decent, time with my partner, and properly switching off. Most nights I get into some ‘light and easy' reading for my Master of Bioethics (sometimes I read the same sentence seven times to try and make sense of it), though occasionally an evening meeting will take priority. Then sleep, and yes, 8 hours is non-negotiable. Tomorrow's me deserves a well-rested today's me.
