221: [LIFE] My Secret Weapon - Rest as a Power Move Aug 24, 2023

Show notes

When I burned out “rest” simply wasn’t a part of my vocabulary. As a busy clinician, an inpatient provider, working in a high acuity specialty, I wasn’t resting at all.

Sometimes we teach the things we need to learn the most. Rest is one of those things. Press play to learn everything I needed to know about rest in the depths of my burnout.

220: [WORK] 5 Reasons to Know Your Revenue Numbers in 2023 Aug 17, 2023

Show notes

You’ve probably heard by now that you NEED to know your value as a provider, right? If you ask me, it should be right at the top of your priority list as a clinician.

Have you ever wondered why the administrators and practice managers care so much about those end-of-the month RVU spreadsheets? What’s the big deal with the data?

How could truly having a handle on your numbers, your revenue, and your productivity and value as a provider change your understanding of your objective value?

219: [WORK] Shift Work Vs. Office Hours - Which One is Right For You? Aug 10, 2023

Show notes

Recently I was speaking to PA students when one of them asked if shift work or office hours would be better for a first job. She wanted to know which was most likely to cause burnout and which schedule would work well.

Like many PAs, this decision is one that I’ve grappled with at different turning points in my career practicing clinical medicine. It sparked a great conversation as a part of that lecture for the students, their PA program director, and myself.

We’re going to chat about the pros and cons of each - shift work or clinic with office hours - and review how to determine which is best for you during this season of life.

216: [PA] What’s Missing from Modern Healthcare Delivery Jul 20, 2023

Show notes

I figured out what we are missing in healthcare. Culturally we’ve gotten it wrong in recent years.

The missing ingredient: humanity. We’ve forgotten that it’s supposed to be people taking care of people. We have lost touch with compassion, kindness and vulnerability.

Here are three ways to restore humanity to healthcare.

215: [LIFE] The Anatomy of a Healthy Boundary Jul 13, 2023

Show notes

How do I set boundaries with work? I believe that boundary setting should be a clinical skill. We need to be able to set boundaries to have sustainable careers in healthcare. Why don’t we learn how to set a heathy boundary in PA school?

Boundaries are necessary for living a life that feels good, aligns with our values, and setting boundaries is crucial for finding a way to thrive while practicing medicine clinically.

Boundaries are limits, policies, and guidelines of how we run our lives. They dictate what we say yes to and where we reply with no. Boundaries are so important for our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well being.

Press play to learn the anatomy of a healthy boundary and the key to learning how to have a long-lasting career in medicine.

214: [PA] Screw the Clinical Leadership Ladder, It’s a Jungle Gym in Healthcare Now Jul 06, 2023

Show notes

There are many ways, including but not limited to, clinical leadership as a Physician Assistant (PA), to create a fulfilling and sustainable career in healthcare. The idea of a leadership ladder, that is linear, one step at a time, is not the only path to success in medicine.

Today we are going to redefine that corporate ladder as the jungle gym that it is. No longer are careers in healthcare something where you start at the “bottom” and work your way up into leadership clinically and then eventually into administration. There is a way to create a career that compensates you generously where you are working clinically. Press play to find out how.
