A Personal and Professional Story about Clinician Burnout and Resilience featuring Dr. Miguel Paniagua
Introduction to Episode:
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
We are so excited to kick off the New Year with Dr. Miguel Paniagua sharing his personal and professional story about Burnout and Clinician Well-Being & Resilience.
Clinician burnout is a unique and personal journey for anyone who experiences it.
Lives are at stake! Not just clinician’s lives but patient’s lives.
We now know that poor provider wellness leads to medical errors.
We are fortunate to have Dr. Paniagua to share his personal experience, hitting rock bottom and how it has informed his current work.
Professionally Dr. Paniagua is leading efforts at the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) to understand the stress of high-stake exams and the affect on student well-being, which he shares with us during the interview.
Join us for this enlightening conversation with Dr. Paniagua as we talk about the realities of clinician burnout and the system and individual factors that can support clinician well-being & resilience
In the Episode We Discuss:
· Polarities have similar principles to Improv in that the answer is always…yes, and.
· Polarities apply to home life and work life
· The RENEW initiative at the NBME
· Changing the system to be more amenable to wellness of the clinician
· Burnout in healthcare is unique in that clinician health is directly related to the health of patients
· Burnout is a problem with multiple polarities
· What about faculty and leaders in addition to clinicians?
· There is optimism and hope because future faculty won’t put up with current systems
· Individuals need to change their mindset and we need systems that support it
· There is a need to explore what is enough and what works
