The Career Checkup:
Your prescription for a strong, energized career
If 2/3 of doctors are burned out, who are the 1/3 that are still going strong? Lessons from these energized physicians have highlighted the three organ systems that make up a strong career. An annual career check up, focusing on these areas, can be the best “preventive medicine“, highlighting strengths as well as areas that might benefit from intervention.
The Energized Doctor:
How the science of energy management can help physicians build electric careers
We’ve all heard the headlines: two out of three physicians are experiencing burnout or on their way to burnout. At the same time, other physicians are energized by their work. Who are these doctors, and what is their secret to success and longevity in an increasingly demanding healthcare environment? Even more important than time management, learning the secrets of energy management can help physicians flourish.
