Malpractice is also a fundamental cause of physician burnoutToday, we explore the remarkable 12-year journey of Dr. Gita Pensa, who faced a daunting $22 million lawsuit and triumphed twice—both in the initial trial and on appeal.

Follow our show wherever you get your podcasts: https://link.chtbl.com/JoH0AMKR Interested in exploring non-clinical careers and unique side gigs in medicine? During the peri-retirement period, doctors may find themselves contemplating retirement or looking for ways to reduce their clinical workload. Engaging in part-time or side gigs can provide a gradual off-ramp from full-time clinical practice, allowing individuals to adjust to a new lifestyle without the sudden loss of income. Dr. John Jurica, a Medical Director, blogger, podcaster, and Certified Physician Executive with expertise in non-clinical careers and side gigs, described various part-time and side gig opportunities physicians can explore during this time. These options range from remote work in fields like medical writing, chart reviews, and medical device regulatory consulting to more hands-on roles like medical legal pre-litigation consulting. These opportunities not only offer financial stability but also allow individuals to continue utilizing their medical expertise in different capacities.   “Even people, as they approach retirement, some of them have been half burned out or mostly burned out and just haven't really done anything about it. To me, we have a bunch of people that just leave medicine and do things, but there's a lot of jobs that they go to, at least a subset of those, that they're part-time. They can be done part-time at the beginning and become full-time. I think there's an option to just do the in-between and try something and see if you like it.”  - John Jurica MD   Episode highlights: Challenges of transitioning from active practice Rise of virtual platforms for part-time work Social security disability chart reviews Collaborative roles with non-physician providers Medical device regulatory consulting Medical-legal pre-litigation consulting Legacy and life purpose post-retirement   Resources: Ideal Physician Job Search Formula https://www.thehappymdacademy.com/store/hUXKudq8 Nonclinical Career Summit Clinical Practice: Make It Great or Move On: https://www.nonclinicalcareersummit.com/   Connect with Dr. Jurica: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-jurica/ Website: https://nonclinicalphysicians.com/   Watch this episode on Youtube: https://youtu.be/8gjkeaMFK7Y ------------ Learn more about Dr. Dike and The Happy MD: https://linktr.ee/dikedrummond Contact Dr. Drummond Email: [email protected]  Phone: 206-430-1905 Web contact form: https://www.thehappymd.com/contact  ----------- We would love to hear your feedback.

She is a dual board-certified Family and Obesity Medicine Physician, a Certified Life Coach for Physicians, and a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator.Dr. Melo highlighted the societal pressure on women in the medical field to always prioritize others and never say no. This pressure stems from early socialization as "good girls" who are expected to be accommodating, hardworking, and always pleasing others. This ingrained behavior can lead to burnout and dissatisfaction in one's career as individuals struggle to meet unrealistic expectations and constantly prioritize others over themselves.Tune in for a candid discussion on the realities of healthcare, the importance of setting healthy boundaries, and the need for individual action to prioritize wellness in a challenging industry.&nbsp;&nbsp;"You're going to need to decide where are you going to have boundaries because you can't do it all. You can't show up this way. You can't always say yes and never say no. You will drown in resentment and frustration and overwhelm and burnout.

His perspective on the key considerations for physicians in employment contract negotiations is rooted in his extensive experience working with doctors at various stages of their careers.

Dennis also emphasizes the need for doctors to seek legal counsel before signing any contracts, as he works across all 50 states and with physicians in various medical specialties.Physicians, it's time to know your worth and negotiate your employment contracts!&nbsp;“Think about what you've done to get where you are.

&nbsp;Part 3 of this Series "Coaching a Suicidal Physician Client" is AT THIS LINKBehind the white coats and stethoscopes, there lies a profound truth - doctors, too, are human.Joining me again are I.C.F.-Certified coaches on our team at TheHappyMD.com - Pam Pappas MD and Penelope Hsu MD, to continue the three-part series on recognizing and preventing physician suicide. In part one, Dr. Pappas and Dr. Hsu bravely shared their own experiences with suicidal ideation. In part two, we discuss what to do if you suspect a colleague is having suicidal thoughts and how to reach out to express our concern. We also explore the barriers to seeking help including imposter syndrome, shame, and guilt.&nbsp;While we may not be able to prevent every instance of physician suicide because of their never-show-weakness programming, we have the power to make a difference through our compassion. Whether we're colleagues, friends, family, or just part of a tribe, we can reach out and give support to someone who might be in a tough spot. Our job is to look out for each other and make sure we have each other's backs even if they tell you to go away and leave them alone. You’ll never know when a simple yet genuine gesture of empathy can save someone’s life.“If you do reach out, you're not going to get rebuffed. If you can hold on somehow through all that darkness, the love that you would give is right there for you. They're going to be there. You just have to say something.” - Penelope Hsu MD“An antidote to shame is the self-compassion.

However, as he shadowed doctors in hospital systems, he noticed their dissatisfaction. This led him to trailblaze the Direct Primary Care (DPC) industry. Since 2016, his companies have launched and supported 130 DPC practices across 37 states in the US. After launch, clients have the option of becoming an employee, owning their own business with full assistance, or having an entirely independent practice.Chris and I discuss the Concierge/DPC business model. He explains how DPC allows physicians to make twice as much money while seeing fewer patients, leading to a better work-life balance. He also gives the benefits of DPC for rural healthcare and the potential for specialists to adopt this model. Christopher stresses the importance of providing options and enabling physicians to practice medicine as they were trained.As more physicians embrace DPC, the future of medicine looks promising, with improved patient care and a return to the values that inspired many doctors to enter the field in the first place.“Just making physicians their own boss, that is the best way that we have seen time and time again to help solve burnout.” - Christopher Habig&nbsp;&nbsp;Episode Highlights: The inspiration behind DPC DPC 101: Make more money, see fewer patients Platform to provide support and guidance to start a successful practice A practice model for rural healthcare and the future of medicine in the USA &nbsp;Connect with Chris: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/direct-primary-care/ Freedom Health Works: https://freedomhealthworks.com/ Freedom Doc: https://freedomdoc.care/ Healthcare Americana Podcast: https://healthcareamericana.com/ Watch this on Youtube: https://youtu.be/6COmAFXinFM&nbsp;Learn more about Dr. Dike and The Happy MD:&nbsp;https://linktr.ee/dikedrummondContact Dr. DrummondEmail: [email protected]: 206-430-1905Web contact form:&nbsp;https://www.thehappymd.com/contact&nbsp;We would love to hear your feedback.

It pushes us forward beyond our limits to reach new heights. In the world of medicine, ambition is essential for doctors to survive the rigorous training process and thrive in their careers. However, there is a lot of misunderstanding about ambition and its negative associations.Together with Harjot Singh MD, we will look at what is ambition and how it can be a positive motivator.

PART TWO of this series "Reaching out to a Suicidal Colleague" is at THIS LINKWe kick off a seriously important three-part series that tackles something we all need to talk about more - preventing physician suicide. This week, I'm sitting down with two remarkable guests and I.C.F.-certified coaches on our team at TheHappyMD.com, Dr. Penelope Hsu and Dr. Pam Pappas.We discuss the often-ignored topic of recognizing your own suicidal ideations and the immense implications it can bring along. Both Dr. Hsu and Dr. Pappas hold nothing back as they share their personal experiences with suicidal ideation and burnout. Their stories remind us why it's crucial for wellness leaders to show vulnerability, and to use their platforms as stages to empower others in their struggles."I think It is far more common than we think. Isolation is the thing that keeps us from acknowledging it within ourselves, of getting support, of sharing, of leaning on anyone. My hope would be that people can hear our stories and realize it doesn't mean you're weak. It doesn't mean you're broken. It just means you're human." - Penelope Hsu MD"Things are going on inside us all the time that may look very different on the surface and how other people see us. We know that physicians are extremely well-versed in trying to look more together than they actually feel. And the code of silence around depression and suicidality is extremely strong in our culture at large, but I think even more so in physicians because there are a lot of implications." - Pam Pappas MDSubscribe to our show wherever you get your podcasts: https://link.chtbl.com/JoH0AMKREpisode highlights:~~ The link between burnout and suicidal thoughts~~ Dr. Pam’s story: burnout, trauma, and the power of a listening ear~~ Dr. Penny’s story: isolation, creative calling, and the road back to medicine Resources: Physician Support Line https://www.physiciansupportline.com/ 888-409-0141Connect with Dr. Hsu: Book a Discovery Session with Dr. Hsu: https://www.thehappymd.com/physician-coach-penelope-hsu-mdWebsite: https://drpenelopehsu.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/penelope-hsu-3796395/Connect with Dr. Pappas:Book a Discovery Session with Dr. Pappas: https://www.thehappymd.com/physician-coach-pam-pappasWebsite: https://drpampappas.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pampappasmd/Watch this episode on Youtube: https://youtu.be/zC_YanMxQCkContact Dr. Drummond Phone: 206-430-1905 Web contact form: <a href="https://www.thehappymd.com/contact" rel="noopener noreferrer"...

Follow our show wherever you get your podcasts: https://link.chtbl.com/JoH0AMKR&nbsp;In the dynamic landscape of healthcare, the payment method is a primary driver of both the patient and the physician experience.&nbsp;This episode takes us on a journey that explores the profound difference when operating within a payment system that prioritizes comprehensive care over transactional interactions.Join Dike Drummond MD and two leaders in the ChenMed system, Dr. Faisel Syed, National Director of Primary Care, and Dr. Daniel McCarter, National Director of Primary Care Advancement, to know more about the transformation of your practice that can occur when you are in a full-risk, single-payor setting.Fee-for-service model is where physicians are caught in a hamster wheel, constantly focused on addressing the patient's chief complaint within a limited time. The assembly-line nature of this system with multiple payors and insurers creates a production-driven, disease-care grind naturally and automatically and has transformed the physician-patient relationship into a transaction.In contrast, ChenMed operates under a full-risk model. This allows physicians to focus on comprehensive care for medically complex and underserved populations. They prioritize long-term outcomes and patient well-being by taking full responsibility for the patient's total cost of care. This unlimited access ensures that physicians have the time and opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with their patients.Listen for a detailed compare and contrast of FFS and Full Risk as it applies to both the patient and the physician experience.&nbsp;&nbsp;Episode Highlights: Dr. Syed and Dr. McCarter’s journey to joining ChenMed Fee-for-service vs full-risk model Physician and patient mindset shifts Drivers of waste in American healthcare delivery Full-risk model statistics in the American population Resources: ChenMed Website: https://www.chenmed.com/ Linkedin Company page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/chenmed/Connect with Dr. Syed: Website: https://www.chenmed.com/blog/meet-doctor-faisel-syed-md Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drfaiselsyed/Connect with Dr. McCarter: Website: https://www.jencaremed.com/our-care-providers/daniel-mccarter-md Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drdanmccarter/Watch on Youtube: https://youtu.be/0HENmuEB3FQ&nbsp;Burnout Proof MD 3-Layer Physician Support Ecosystem 1) COACHING - 2 hours of weekly group coaching on Zoom 2) TRAINING - Our Top-5 online video trainings - Burnout Proof Online Workshop -One Minute Mindfulness for Physicians - Ideal Physician Job Search Formula - Physician’s Guide to Managing Your Boss - Physician Leadership Power Tools 3) COMMUNITY - Private,...
