The OSA has a new faculty member! It’s Dr. John Allen, a UMSOM alum who is starting his career in academic medicine. Dr. Allen just finished his chief resident year and has lived through burnout, exhaustion, and even deterioration in his own health before realizing that in order to care for other people, he needs to care for himself. He is doing great now, and he is passionate about student and physician wellness. Here he shares his thoughts on being a whole person outside of work, learning to let go of other people’s expectations of you, and incorporating mindfulness into daily life so that we catch ourselves before we crash and burn.    Physician, heal thyself?
