Episode notes
Dropout Problem in Allied Health
- Allied health practitioners are leaving their professions early, sometimes just seven years after graduation.
- Patients also drop out of care prematurely, and interprofessional communication is lacking.
Symptoms of Dropout
- Practitioners experiencing dropout issues often feel disconnected, unsupported, and isolated within their teams.
- They may struggle with patient management, lack mentoring, and feel embarrassed to discuss their challenges.
Address Dropout Issues
- Practice owners should create regular one-on-one mentoring sessions with practitioners to discuss what's working and what's not.
- These sessions should be a safe space for open communication, addressing individual needs and concerns.
