Manage episode 336069624 series 2879930
“ ‘I’m scheduled from 7 in the morning until 7pm and then have hours of paperwork after that and I don’t have time to eat or even pee during the day.’
I just want to say first of all, I see you. I hear that those are the conditions that have been created by the system for you, and I also want to say to you, that’s not ok.”
- Jill Farmer, Master Certified Life Coach, Cohost of DocWorking
Cohosts of the Podcast Jill Farmer and Dr. Jen Barna talk about the professional and personal development value of normalizing Physician & Healthcare Coaching as a key to staying connected to purpose and meaning during a career in medicine. In this conversation, Jill and Jen discuss why healthcare organizations should be carving time into the workday for doctors and other providers to engage in coaching and associated professional development in order to build leadership, communication, growth mindset, stress and time management skills, and work-life integration in order to make the practice of medicine sustainable as a long career. If this type of professional development for physicians, PAs, Nurse Practitioners and nurses does NOT happen, Jill and Jen point out that dedicated physicians and other clinicians may leave their practice earlier, shortening medical careers. The DocWorking team is here to help you clarify what brings meaning and purpose in your own life, arm you with the tools needed to put yourself in the driver’s seat of your life and career, and provide ongoing coaching and peer support to guide you toward your goals in a sustainable and effective way. In addition, this episode focuses on how you can start to build in time for coaching and make it a priority so that you may continue to find joy in practicing medicine.
