Running on Empty? Physicians' Path to Enjoying Life and Medicine More
Physician burnout is an epidemic in the United States. More than half of US physicians have measurable symptoms of burnout: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced perception of personal accomplishment. The rates have soared in recent years, and it's worse for physicians in many specialties, particularly internal medicine, critical care, and emergency and family medicine. This course discusses various strategies that work to replenish your internal resources and to handle the challenges of medical practice.
Learning Objectives
- Describe physician wellness and burnout and why working toward the first and avoiding the latter are crucial and urgent for you and your colleagues.
- Identify critical factors and predictors for physician wellness and common obstacles to improving one's approaches to work and life challenges
- Discuss various strategies that work to replenish your internal resources and to handle the challenges of medical practice.
- Employ one practice that can improve your day immediately or to enable you to respond more calmly and wisely when you need it most.
Faculty
Nance Goldstein , PhD and ICF-certified coach, is Resident Scholar at Brandeis University Women's Studies Research Center and founder, Working Wisely Group.
She works with physicians and clinicians to tame practice overwhelm, lack of autonomy, and exhaustion with greater skill, patience and wisdom. She also joins physicians in assuming responsibility for leading the uncharted, complex world of healthcare innovation. With her and her research, leadership training and coaching experience, her clients enjoy the ride more.
Her work derives from current medical research and best practices in leadership development.
As an industry economist, the National Science Foundation awarded her and her colleagues a grant and later commissioned her to research the changing environment of working in IT (information technology) and the changes in the location and nature of jobs and skills triggered by IT. Harvard's Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study named her a Fellow.
As Resident Scholar at Brandeis University WSRC, her research investigates the changing demands on healthcare leaders to guide and manage the work at hospitals and organizations to excel in the future. Leading oneself and others through uncertainty, complexity, innovation and change requires very different, surprising capabilities.
