In this blog post, I’ll share the secret to job, career, and life satisfaction for physicians, all distilled into one simple question and a two-circle Venn diagram.

NOW is the perfect time to re-focus on what you really want out of your career

Here's the question you must answer to begin the process of taking your practice back:

What is your Ideal Job Description?

Answer this one question
and understand your personal Venn of Happiness
and you’ll have a clear Satisfaction Target
for your practice, career, and life
AND you will know the first step to become much more content
with your choice to become a physician.

This is the core concept I teach all my physician coaching clients, and I’m excited to share it with you again here at this important point in time - 100 days into the Trump / RFK administration.

Let’s cut straight to the chase. Physician burnout isn’t a problem you can solve.

It’s a never-ending balancing act—a dilemma, not a problem. And if you’re trying to fix it - wasting time looking for a one-shot solution, you’re already losing ground.

The only way forward is with a strategy. A sustainable, adaptable approach that addresses burnout at both the personal and organizational levels.

Let me show you our proven, four-part corporate physician wellness strategy that that can be installed in any healthcare organization in a single day. This isn’t theory. This is a battle-tested plan that works, simple enough to sketch on the back of a napkin. Let’s dive in.

Join us to lead the movement away from today's short staffing, overwhelm and hypocrisy to a true Health Care System that makes sense - while there is still time.

Let me show you how to become a four-tool physician leader - and play a bigger role in building the future of healthcare.

The promise of AI scribes sounds like a dream come true and it will be, just not for long

We are in the early adoption phase at the peak of the hype cycle. The vision of having your computer write the note for you with faster workflows, and more time for patient care is soooo enticing.

But as with any game-changing technology, there’s a catch: it’s a double-edged sword. The leading edge cuts your daily workload magnificently, but the trailing edge—the industry’s inevitable response to your increased productivity—is a clear and obvious danger to physicians in ways we can’t yet imagine.

IN THIS BLOG POST:

• How the virtual scribe programs are trained and how they will change your work flow.
• Why they might save you up to 50% of the time you now spend on visit notes.
• How the industry will respond to this increase in productivity.
• And why I fear for a future that holds deeper and darker sources of burnout than just the exhaustion of documentation.

Last week I sent a survey to the Physician Leaders on our mailing list, asking personal questions about your values, goals, stresses and satisfaction with your leadership role.

Here are the responses of 22 who responded - offering us a first-person perspective on what it's like to be a physician leader in these challenging times.

The hidden patterns in Physician Wellness

As a physician coach since 2010, I focus on helping physicians build a much better practice and become a much more effective leader.

At this point, I have been extremely fortunate to accumulate 40,000 doctors worth of coaching and training experience since 2010. It has been a rich and rewarding learning experience.

This perspective has revealed clear patterns  -- a set of habits nearly all happy, healthy physicians use to create and maintain that positive state, even in these very difficult times. Without these habits to protect your connection to Purpose as a Lightworker, physician burnout is a constant threat to you and your family. 

This is the latest in a series of posts about these Seven  Habits of Physician Wellbeing.

As working conditions in the front-lines of healthcare continue to deteriorate, you may choose to speak up to your senior leaders.

What can you say to make them take notice and do something about the overwhelm, short staffing, burnout and the digital overload of the average work day?

Do you trust yourself to talk with your CMO about these issues without losing your temper?

Let me show you a power question that actually allows you to see the future of your organization.

I have discussed physician wellness and corporate burnout prevention strategy with nearly 1000 leadership teams since 2010. Here are the strategy and questions I use in these crucial conversations.

The answer to the first question below will give you two important insights:

• Is my practice safe here in the long term?
• Will this organization survive the boomer doctor retirement cliff and still be in business in 2030?

I launched my website and physician coaching practice back in 2010.

Since then our team has trained and coached over 40,000 doctors to recognize, prevent and recover from burnout.

Along the way, our work has revealed what I believe to be a universal set of habits that create a state of wellbeing and satisfaction in practicing physicians - no matter what your specialty or how many hats you wear at work.
