Why did you become a clinician? Most of us entered this profession driven by a passion to help others and make a meaningful impact on patients’ lives. However, the traits that make us great at our job also make us vulnerable to stress and burnout.
Working with patients in pain or with disabilities can create a rollercoaster of emotional highs and lows. The demanding nature of our work, dealing with patients in pain, heavy caseloads, and limited resources can turn our passion into exhaustion. The result? Burnout, compassion fatigue, and even imposter syndrome, that not only affect us but also impact our ability to care for our patients effectively.
In this presentation, David Toomey (NZ Titled Musculoskeletal Physio, PhD Candidate) shares practical strategies for identifying and managing these threats to our success and happiness.
