Reversing Physician Burnout: Recapturing the Joy in Medicine
“The practice of medicine is an art, not a trade; a calling, not a business; a calling in which your heart will be exercised equally with your head.”
—William Osler, M.D. (1849-1919)
Dr. Schneebaum draws on 40 years of experience as a primary care physician. He worked in multiple office settings — in small groups, as a solo practitioner, and on the clinical faculty at Dartmouth's Geisel School of Medicine — and successfully met the challenges you now face. He retired to share what he learned about living a richer and meaningful life, and to specifically teach physicians how to reverse burnout and reestablish their joy for medicine.
Burnout has three main roots, according to Dr. Schneebaum: unfulfilling patient interactions, time-consuming non-medical tasks, and lack of support from one’s office staff and administration. The first is most important. As you feel value from your patient interactions, you find the strength to overcome other office challenges. On the other hand, these workshops also offer specific strategies for dealing with non-medical work and the office place.
Specifics include:
Developing rewarding patient interactions
Managing psychosocial issues in a timely and effective way
Learning to be empathetic while controlling visit time and avoiding running behind
Creating documentation strategies that work
Establishing the leadership skills needed to work with your office staff and administration seamlessly
