Physician burnout is a widespread and serious issue affecting healthcare professionals worldwide. It causes doctors to feel detached, cynical, unfulfilled by their clinical work, and hopeless. Physician burnout commonly results in reduced job satisfaction, decreased quality of care, higher medical errors, and increased rates of depression, anxiety, and even suicide.
In this episode centered on addressing physician burnout, we have an open and honest conversation with Dr. Diana Londoño. She is a board-certified Urologist and the visionary behind Physician Coach Support, a safe haven where doctors can access confidential peer support whenever they need it. She joins Dr. Michael Hersh and Dr. Arpita Gupta DePalma to share her own remarkable journey into coaching and its instrumental role in overcoming her burnout. As physician burnout can manifest uniquely in different individuals, increasing awareness enables us to recognize its presence and guides us toward addressing the root causes.
