“Doctors are programmed to burn out by our medical education. We’re set up to fail. We’re set up to ignore our stress levels and our energy levels. We’re set up to ignore our own self-care because of several prime directives that are installed as the programming of medical education.”
Show Highlights:
- How Dike transitioned from clinical medicine to his current non-clinical role as a coach.
- Why his burnout led to coaching other physicians who are suffering.
- The three symptoms of burnout: exhaustion; compassion fatigue; and “what’s the use”.
- How to reach out to someone you’re concerned about.
- The concerning high rate of physician suicide.
- How to determine if you should leave clinical medicine and choose a non-clinical career.
- The importance of writing a description of your ideal practice.
- How to recover from burnout.
- How moral injury is a cause of burnout.
- Why using a stress matrix can be a helpful tool.
- Dike’s book as a resource, Stop Physician Burnout: What to Do When Working Harder Isn’t Working.
