Why is it crucial to recognize how burnout affects all aspects of a physician's life?
Energy management is not just about getting enough sleep or taking breaks when you're tired. As a doctor, it's also about figuring out how to balance your physical, emotional, and spiritual needs so that you can be your best self at work and in life.
Recap: In part 1 of this mini-training series, we discussed the common physician burnout myths and revisited healthcare’s two prime directives. Also, using the bank account model, we explained the concept of energy inside the physiology of a doctor and how they are trained to continue to perform their duties even below the empty mark.
This episode is a continuation that dives deeper into the three energy accounts with their corresponding burnout symptom that occurs when each tank is in a negative balance and the strategies for refilling these tanks. Taking the time to understand this model can help physicians take action to prevent burnout and safeguard their own well-being.
