Burnout is one of the rock bottom consequences of our overly busy lives. Physician burnout not only harms the individual but harms their patients as well. Just like any other professional who experiences burnout, their personal relationships are usually the first to be affected. The negative effects of burnout spill over every aspect of your life - your personal relationship, your home, health, and work. The burnout of an individual affects not just themselves but everyone around them. In this episode, Dr. Charmaine discusses the three-part strategy that Stanford has adopted to address burnout, namely: creating a culture of wellness, establishing efficiency of practice, and promoting personal resilience. The Stanford Model looks at burnout as not just the physician or individual’s problem, but the whole organization’s problem. While there is no one-size-fits-all solution for burnout, listening without judgment is a great place to start.
