Miscellaneous
Welcome to the first episode of Physician Wellness First, the show dedicated to helping physicians learn to take care of themselves so they can take better care of their patients. My name is Dr. Kathy Stepien, and I’m a pediatric hospitalist, as well as the founding director of The Institute for Physician Wellness. Having worked in healthcare for over 30 years, I know what it’s like to experience burnout, and my mission is to help other physicians avoid this common problem. The medical industry needs support for wellness now more than ever, and nothing is more important for that than the topic I’ll be discussing today: giving ourselves permission to set boundaries and identify what we need. Listen in to hear the common reasons we give ourselves for always putting others first, as well as how this hurts us, our patients, and our families. We’ll go through exercises to help you reconnect with your own needs, and end with a guided meditation that will help put you on the right path to wellness.
