Manage episode 356789834 series 2859648
The sad truth is, toxic work environments are still alive and well in medicine. This isn’t just minor annoyances - we’re talking work cultures where something undesirable has mutated into something that’s genuinely psychologically unsafe.
As a physician, you have a human, basic right to feel safe in your job and if that’s not being served where you work, it’s time to take action.
What are the signs of a toxic environment? How do we support people who are on the receiving end of a toxic culture?
In this episode, I’m sharing why a toxic work culture is something we shouldn’t just accept or tolerate.
Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

- How to know it’s time to exit
