Physician Burnout: What Nobody Tells You

Burnout gets treated like a personal failing in medicine, something you're supposed to meditate or wellness-seminar your way out of. It isn't. This episode breaks down why burnout is a systems problem first and a personal one second, what it actually looks like day to day, and what you can realistically control to prevent and treat it.
This one's for anyone in medicine at any stage, med students, residents, and especially attendings, who's felt flat, exhausted, or numb and assumed something was wrong with them.

About Me
I am a physician (M.D.) practicing a mix of hospitalist medicine, and urgent care. I learned a lot in my journey to becoming a physician and about more than just medicine. Follow along as I reflect and teach what I wish I knew, which for the most part, is the stuff you don’t learn in school.
