Show Notes

The practice of medicine involves a hidden culture that includes aspects such as clinical pressures and expectations, a mismatch between demands and resources, and psychological phenomena such as perfectionism or imposter syndrome. In this episode, we talk with J. Corey Feist JD, MBA who is the President and Co-Founder of the Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes’ Foundation, an organization dedicated to supporting the well-being of our healthcare workforce. Tune in to hear about factors that prevent healthcare workers from seeking help, including 6 barriers to mental health care, essential systemic changes needed across health systems, and policy initiatives / legislation that are vital to improve physician wellness and reduce physician suicide rates and help clinicians thrive, both in their professional and private lives.
