Forum Description

Jeff welcomes to the podcast Stuart Slavin MD, MEd - a Senior Scholar for Well-Being at the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).

The well-being movement has changed a lot over the past decade. Right now, it feels like we’re a little bit stuck. Maybe we shouldn’t be focusing solely on well-being activities like exercise, yoga, nutrition, etc. There’s nothing wrong with these activities, but they tend to be add-ons that exist outside of the workplace. Instead, perhaps we should be focusing on our experiences within the workplace. 

As physicians, we have the ability to make a positive impact on our workplace experience. Of course, there are system-wide changes that administrators need to work on, but every single one of us is responsible for doing what we can to make a healthier workplace environment.

What steps does Stuart suggest we do to improve our workplaces?

  • Step 1 - Cultivate Awareness. How are you feeling at/about work? If you’re feeling consistently negative, something needs to change.
  • Step 2 -  Find Meaning. Finding meaning in your life is one of the most important things you can do to sustain yourself. 
  • Step 3 - Recalibrate. We can all grow, change, and adapt in ways that can have a huge impact on our well-being.

Most importantly, PRACTICE improving your workplace experience!
