Kim is a physical therapist as well as a patient. She is a fierce advocate for physician wellbeing. In this episode she tells me what doctors can do to prevent and manage burnout. I love the idea of patients being advocates for doctors' wellbeing!

As a seasoned healthcare professional and three-time cancer survivor, Kim has experienced first-hand the challenges facing clinicians, including loss of autonomy, frustrations with the Electronic Medical Record, burnout, and moral injury. Her goal is to raise community awareness and mobilise support to promote physician wellness and positive changes in the healthcare system.
