🎙️ Hosts: Shannen & Nyleen

Ever wondered what happens when a doctor hits their "darkest hour"? Today, Shannen and Nyleen are joined by Amanda Olagon, Director of Communications at PBI Education, to discuss the fascinating world of remedial medical education. We’re moving past the "bad actor" headlines and getting into the heart of why good clinicians sometimes make very expensive mistakes.

In this episode, we break down:

• Restorative vs. Punitive Discipline
• The Doctor Typologies
• The "Sister State" Domino Effect
• Personalized Protection Plans

Whether you're an MSP looking to protect your facility or a provider feeling the weight of burnout, this episode is a masterclass in empathy, accountability, and the path back to safe practice.

Resources mentioned:

PBI Education: The go-to resource for behavioral-based remedial courses for clinicians. 

Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes Foundation: Leading the charge for physician mental health and suicide prevention.
