If you've ever experienced burnout before, you can probably relate to an analogy that you'll hear in this episode, comparing burnout to being stuck in a chokehold with no clear escape. However, as you'll also hear, there is a way out, and the other side is often better than even the best times pre-burnout!

This episode features a fascinating interview with special guest, Dr. Dike Drummond, a family medicine physician trained at Mayo, who became a professional coach specializing in physician burnout after experiencing it first-hand. Dr. Drummond shares his journey from practicing full-service family medicine to battling burnout, taking a sabbatical, and eventually leaving his clinical practice. 

What came next is something truly incredible, including the founding of TheHappyMD, writing several books on burnout, and establishing a coaching practice that has helped thousands of physicians and executives lead better lives at work.  You'll hear us stress the importance of self-reflection, creating a work-life balance, and the potential for physicians to redefine their careers while staying true to their commitment to healthcare.
