Stanford Medcast Episode 18: COVID-19 Mini-series - Physician Wellness

Tuesday, April 27, 2021, 12:00 AM - Thursday, August 31, 2023, 11:59 PM

This episode will address physician wellness and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on physicians and other members of the healthcare team. Burnout is an ongoing issue in healthcare, but the pandemic escalated the problem even more. Participants will learn about the challenges members of the healthcare team have faced since the beginning of the pandemic, and the factors involved in reducing the risk for burnout, including development of a culture of wellness, personal resilience and efficiency of practice. Dr. Daniel J. Murphy, Jr. outlines strategies to improve wellness through development of adequate resources, support from leadership and good communication and listening skills.
