It’s no secret that being a healthcare professional in the United States right now, even more so within Anesthesiology, is stressful. The attrition rate is high. One of the factors that impact us daily is the high level of tension in the Perioperative setting in which anesthesiologists are required to practice. It’s a given that we provide superior and professional clinical care; however, we are doing this while dealing oftentimes with a non-collaborative environment.
This multi-episode podcast arc gets together experts in the areas of well-being, organizational behavior, and ethics, and challenges them to help think of proactive ways that each anesthesiologist can take ACTION to improve their work life. Wellness isn’t only self-care; it needs to be a proactive, call-to-arm to our healthcare organizations to create better work environments. Our experts rise to the occasion, and not only discuss the factors resulting in our broken work space, but the language and asks that we can take to our administrations to demand improvement.
