Let’s cut straight to the chase. Physician burnout isn’t a problem you can solve.

It’s a never-ending balancing act—a dilemma, not a problem. And if you’re trying to fix it - wasting time looking for a one-shot solution, you’re already losing ground.

The only way forward is with a strategy. A sustainable, adaptable approach that addresses burnout at both the personal and organizational levels.

Let me show you our proven, four-part corporate physician wellness strategy that that can be installed in any healthcare organization in a single day. This isn’t theory. This is a battle-tested plan that works, simple enough to sketch on the back of a napkin. Let’s dive in.

Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.

Physician Burnout - Praying for a one-step solution is human nature and a trap!

One of the key features of physician burnout is a desire to run away, escape, make the pain stop. When you are deep in the downward spiral, your mind drops to its knees and prays for a simple, one-step solution to the agony and despair.

We ask basic questions like:

1. What is the solution to physician burnout?
2. What can I do to solve this, make it go away and get on with my career and my life?
   
   

Because our questions are simple, we assume a simple answer -- a solution, a magic pill, a one-shot fix -- will come to our rescue.

This is magical thinking and a search that is doomed to fail !

In this blog post, let me show you the simplest way possible to prevent physician burnout in any healthcare organization that employs physicians. 

I promise to make it as simple as possible for you, but no simpler.
