Physician Wellness

2)I know men leave medicine, too. Truth: I know more women who have left. They are not leaving medicine bc they don't want to work hard. I repeat: Not one of these women have left medicine bc they are not hard workers. Many have left because they do not feel valued.👇

Medicine: I am concerned. I coach/speak/lead tens of thousands of women physicians. In the last 3 yrs, I am seeing so many leaders, experts, talented clinicians,& innovators leave medicine. After decades of training - they leave. What is most shocking: they tried to stay.👇

We take the oath to care for patients, but we also need to care for each other, in addition to ourselves … We’re physicians, not martyrs. -@KathyStepienMD instituteforphysicianwellness.com/ep-001-giving-… via @@KathyStepienMD

To strive for change that will be effective, we need to recognize that each organization has its unique situation, and we can tailor a plan according to those unique needs. -@KathyStepienMD instituteforphysicianwellness.com/ep-004-what-we… via @@KathyStepienMD

Physician wellness happens when physicians are actively involved in creating healthier workplaces. It cannot come from an outsider. Physicians must be leaders of the solutions. #physicianwellness
