Episode 21:  Healthcare providers are human, too! We experience all the same things our patients do, and personal loss is no exception.

In Episode 21, we discuss taking appropriate time for ourselves to process these difficult situations and how we can overcome these mountains and channel them into stronger connections with our patients.
