Episode #36: Burnout Through the Eyes of a Dietitian Nutritionist Featuring Dr. Katie Eliot

Burnout Through the Eyes of a Dietitian Nutritionist Featuring Dr. Katie Eliot

Introduction to Episode:

We are so happy to have our friend and colleague Dr. Katie Eliot on the podcast today.  Katie is a dietitian nutritionist.

While the burnout crisis is nationwide and impacts all health professions most of the evidence reported in the literature is focused on physicians and nurses.

In this episode with Katie we discuss clinician burnout from the dietitian nutritionist perspective. 

Katie sheds some light on some of the unique causes of stress and burnout for dietitian nutritionists and for students just entering the profession.

We also discuss clinician burnout from an interprofessional perspective (which is Katie’s “jam”!)

 

In the Episode We Discuss:

·         What burnout looks like for dietitian nutritionists

·         How dietitian nutritionists and students are managing stress and burnout

·         Coping mechanisms

·         Interprofessional efforts to decrease burnout and stress

·         Recommendations to manage stress and burnout from an interprofessional approach

·         Stress is not a badge of courage
