What time is it? Did that alarm clock just go off again? Can I go home yet? I feel like I barely can take any time off. I'm overwhelmed with the administrative tasks and charting that comes home after work. I get so distracted and then wonder where all the time went. Leisure reading, what's that? A little time for myself?!? MARGIN...what's that?

The overwhelm of charting, the massive responsibilities facing physicians, there is no lack of things to do. From planning your schedule according to your priorities to taking time off in advance, self-care as a physician or trainee involves intentionality. Come check out the latest episode of The MedEdWell Podcast where we tackle these things and more.

Wellness in medicine, is that even possible anymore? What if I'm burned out? Dr. Ryan Stegink talks about his own journey with wellness as an early career pediatrician in primary care on the first episode of The MedEdWell Podcast. With a passion to advance wellness for his colleagues and a diverse set of interests and skills, Dr. Stegink seeks to help others in medicine take the next step in their own wellness, personally, professionally, and financially.

By hearing about Dr. Stegink's experience with burnout, you will have the opportunity to reflect on your core values, priorities, and where you are on your own wellness journey. Finally you will be challenged to choose something to change to take that next step forward based on your reflection.
