In this enlightening episode, we delve deep into the pressing issue of physician burnout with expert Dr. Will Border, Chief Physician Wellness Officer at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and Professor of Pediatrics at Emory University School of Medicine. Highlighting the pervasive prevalence and potential perils of burnout in healthcare, Dr. Border considers it as a potential upcoming healthcare crisis.

Dr. Border and Host Holly Wayment provide an informed and compassionate discourse on the contributing factors to physician burnout like administrative burdens and high stress levels. He views it as a 'dynamic', rather than static state and proposes solutions that include open conversations, emotional support, and eradicating stigmatization to alleviate the problem.

Additionally, this episode exposes alarming disparities in burnout rates, particularly higher prevalence among women physicians and more pronounced instances after about a decade in the profession. Steering away from the debilitating pursuit for perfection, the healthcare industry's transformation and adoption of more accommodative work environments and self-compassionate approaches are underscored as potential remedies.

Preserving Self-compassion in Healthcare Service Delivery

In the midst of stress and burnout accompanying healthcare services, this episode emphasizes the necessity of self-compassion by practicing mindfulness, extending self-kindness and promoting common humanity. Drawing upon the teachings of self-compassion expert, Kristin Neff from the University of Texas, this episode offers insightful inputs and tools for navigating the intricate emotional facades in healthcare delivery.
