Welcome to Reducing Physician Burnout, a seven-part audio training series. Program Release: August 6, 2022 Expiration Date: August 6, 2023 There are no prerequisites for participation. Overview “The secret of the care of the patient is in caring for the patient.” –Francis Peabody Burnout is reaching epidemic levels for healthcare providers. Clinicians are taught that empathizing with their patients, yet this can lead to empathy fatigue, and the development of habits that are self-protective against burnout, yet can be a Catch-22 with regard to connecting with patients and building a relationship that makes patients feel cared for. This short training, comprised of seven brief audio lessons, will teach clinicians how to be with and hold patients’ suffering without being consumed by it. It will also help clinicians identify and work with reactions in patient encounters (e.g. frustration, anger, etc.) as well as habits that contribute to burnout (e.g. not being able to stop thinking about a problem, worrying about patients, taking work home etc.). The training will also provide clinicians with simple, pragmatic, on-the-go skills and practices that can be employed both in clinical settings and at home to improve resilience and wellbeing. Specific topics include: how to be with pain/suffering without being consumed or overly reacting to it, working with frustration, anger, hopelessness in difficult patient interactions, working with intrusive/distracting thoughts, working with self-judgment, developing curiosity to improve diagnostic skills, and diagnosing and treating pain.
