Quick Takes: A podcast by physicians, for physicians

Burnout & Recovery: A Conversation with Dr. Jillian Horton


Listen Later

“I would get home at the end of my long shifts on the wards, and I would have nothing left. Nothing left for myself, nothing left for my spouse, nothing left for my children.”

After another year of pandemic, the topic of physician burnout is more relevant than ever. On this episode of Quick Takes Dr. Gratzer speaks with award-winning medical educator and bestselling author Dr. Jillian Horton(of the University of Manitoba) about identifying signs of burnout and strategies to deal with it. The conversation is very personal – Dr. Horton, a practicing internist, talks about her own experiences.

In this discussion with Dr. Horton, we talk about:
• ways to identifying and combat burnout
• how you may not fit the clinical mold for the definition of burnout, but you could still be experiencing it
• the stigma around talking about burnout is gradually lifting
• organisational and systemic factors are the primary drivers of burnout, period.
