Excited 2 share our newest publication, Fostering Students’ Personal & Professional Growth: Responding to Error During the Internal Medicine Clerkship sagepub.com. I'm thankful 4 my amazing @GeisingerCwlth colleagues @hbemd @adonizio2281 who co-authored it with me.

@emily_fri I, like many others in med ed, am on the referenced listserv. I was troubled by much of the exchange and am sharing part of my response to the listserv discussion here

I love my job. It fits me perfectly. I was made for medicine. But projecting your own love for work (because YOU find it to be the most enjoyable or rewarding part of your life) onto others to the point that it becomes the expectation is not ok.

A CDC report this week on burnout in healthcare concluded with this: Solutions should emphasize “improving the work environment to support mental health, rather than asking workers to be more resilient…” Resilience isn’t the issue. The environment is.

Want to learn more about professionalism in health care? Then you should attend the @TheAPHC conference on 11/17/23, Reimagining Professionalism: Using Cultural and Generational Lenses. You can register @ bit.ly/APHCNov17Regis…. Hope to see you there!

This is only the second time all of the Surgeons General have gotten together – which gives you a sense of this gathering’s significance. I was honored to moderate this discussion of how to tackle one of the biggest public challenges of our time – mental health. The problem is complicated, and the solutions are not easy, but it all starts with reconnecting with our humanity. cnn.com/2023/09/28/hea…
