Are You a Good Physician?

Do you think you're a good physician?  This is a tough question for many physicians to answer, because the truth is that in our US medical system, there are so many metrics, opinions, and perspectives that feed into our own self-worth. 

But let me reassure you that the odds are in your favor that you are indeed a good physician. And internalizing your gift of competence and compassion is a key step in unlocking a life beyond burnout and work-related anxiety!

In this episode of the Ending Physician Overwhelm Podcast we will reflect on, and work to re-frame, the typical narrative of self-worth in the field of medicine, which is one that is often molded by both internal and external perfectionism pressures. Because it's well overdue that we acknowledge that we can't cure all diseases or compensate for the flaws of the healthcare system.

So let's start to see ourselves for the kind, caring, well-trained, and knowledgable physicians that we are, and give ourselves permission to live wonderful work and non-work lives.

Enjoy! And please consider sharing this episode or leaving a review. It really helps us to grow and reach more people.
