Trainees

Residency and Fellowship are times of great personal and professional growth. They are also extremely intense periods of a physician’s career.

Long work hours, sleep deprivation, the emotional drain of dealing with sickness and death, and lack of time for leisure, friends and family all contribute to emotional exhaustion, a feeling of isolation, and low work satisfaction—or burn out.

Fortunately, burnout can be prevented! A close network of family and friends, a positive learning environment, mentorship, stress management skills, and good time management have all been shown to protect against and prevent burnout.

Coaching can help develop these skills!
