There's a hidden curriculum in medicine, that you know, the best doctors are the ones who just take everything on and work 24/7. And that message continues to be reinforced. But I think we're getting better slowly at recognizing that we don't need to be heroes by working 24/7.
I think we need to remember that physicians are human beings, because I think we forget that, and we have to remember that we are people. And wellness looks different for every person.
When I think about physician wellness, there's the individual side where absolutely. I want physicians to be physically active, to eat healthy, to get enough sleep, to get time with loved ones, to get breaks. Those things are all really critical. But I also want us to be working on our workplaces and make sure that the environments that we work on support us to thrive in our work.
