Key Takeaways from the Video 

Ongoing uncertainty and a number of stressors related to COVID-19 may increase physician burnout.  

To combat feeling burned out and to promote our own wellness, we should remember that everyone is being affected by changes related to COVID-19 and aim to be kind and compassionate. We should recognize that we will likely not be as productive as we were at baseline, and that is ok!

We can model wellness with these strategies:

  • Prepare for the day as though we are going to the office even if we are staying at home.
  • Check in with staff.
  • Utilize resources that are available to us.
  • Stay connected and remember that physical distance does not have to mean loneliness!
