The latest episode of PCOM Perspectives, our podcast exploring news and events on campus and news of the day through the PCOM lens, is now live.

I encourage you to take a listen to this episode as I speak with Jason Walker, PhD, associate professor of physiology at PCOM South Georgia about student burnout. During our time together, we discuss why so many students are experiencing burnout, how to know the difference between stress, burnout and depression and the resources PCOM provides.

As the PCOM community continues to face the lasting impacts of a global pandemic, coupled with the stress of professional school, it’s imperative that we keep mental health at the forefront of our minds and conversations. If you feel that you are experiencing burnout, please reach out to your campus counselor by visiting https://www.pcom.edu/student-life/student-affairs/counseling/.
