Episode notes

In this episode, I'm on the other side of the microphone. I'm interviewed by Daniel Wrenne on the Finance for Physicians podcast. With reports of 50 to 60 percent of physicians experiencing symptoms of burnout, even before the pandemic, the issue has only become more pressing. We discuss the medical profession's challenges, including physician shortages, a lack of autonomy and empowerment, and external pressures leading to moral injury.

We delve into the evolution of the medical degree and explore how physicians leverage their MDs beyond clinical care with entrepreneurial pursuits such as startups, real estate, and legal review. Feeding the entrepreneurial spirit and allowing physicians to explore their passions outside of clinical care can help prevent burnout and keep more clinicians in the profession.

Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the current state of clinician burnout and potential solutions to keep more physicians practicing medicine for the long term.
