Episode Details

Doctors are not okay. Nearly half of physicians in the United States experienced burnout in 2023, leading to absenteeism, reduced productivity, turnover, and many leaving the profession altogether. In this episode, we discuss the clinician burnout and mental health crises with two expert guests: Dr. Jessie Gold, the first chief wellness officer for the University of Tennessee System and author of "How Do You Feel? One Doctor's Search for Humanity in Medicine," and Dr. Aparna Atluru, co-founder and chief medical officer of Marvin, a company that provides specialized mental health care for healthcare workers.

We cover:

😮‍💨 The definition and symptoms of burnout, and if we should add it to the DSM

👩‍⚕️ Gender disparities in physician mental health and suicide rates

💻 The impact of technology on clinician well-being

✍️ Personal experiences with burnout and mental health struggles in medicine

💡 Potential solutions and interventions, including specialized mental health care for healthcare workers
