Burnout in Healthcare: Causes, Consequences, and Solutions with Dr. Jonathan Prousky

Burnout in Healthcare: Causes, Consequences, and Solutions with Dr. Jonathan Prousky

Author: Dr. Kara Fitzgerald December 7, 2023 Duration: 1:06:17
Working in healthcare brings a unique set of challenges and stressors. But the truth is that any of us can get to burnout through challenging circumstances of work or study. And the consequences can range from severe to devastating. Burnout still hasn't been fully understood or recognized by the medical profession and other industries - there is still no official diagnosis classification. Along with other mental health disorders, it is often still (wrongly) stigmatized and can even sometimes be seen as a "badge of honor," much to our detriment. Dr. Jonathan Prousky, Chief Naturopathic Medical Officer at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, joins me once again in this New Frontiers episode to explore the state of burnout in healthcare workers and beyond. Whether you work in our field or not, I guarantee you'll find it insightful. Together we explore the challenges we all face, and practical solutions to help you maintain your own health and well-being. As always, please feel free to share, comment, and rate - and let us know your thoughts on this important topic. ~DrKF Do You Think You Might Be Suffering From Burnout?
