5 Steps to keep burnout at bay and restore energy to live and lead for in today’s medical arena
Stephanie Wellington
SW Coaching Solution, USA
T
he conversation in the medical community has shifted
to include workplace dissatisfaction, burnout and
the increasing suicide rates across professions. Medical
professionals are charged with the task of caring for patients
and their families with demands for increased productivity
with limited staff and resources. Who cares for the caregiver?
The professional is stretched from the financial stress of debt
from student loans and family responsibilities. It is evident
that a career healthcare is not as coveted as it once was.
As more women entering medical school, we are entering an
age where the model of hierarchy and competition are more
destructive than constructive. The competitive model breeds
comparisons among physicians which contributes to a lack of
self-confidence and the ‘not good enough’ syndrome. Women
physicians, attempting to find their place in this system, leave
behind thenatural gifts shemust sharewithher patients and the
medical community. Distressmounts as awomanphysician tries
