MANAGING BURNOUT IN PHYSICIANS

...helping doctors manage their world


Intensive Coaching for Burnout

Coaching for Physicians can schedule appointments for intensive marathon coaching to manage physician burnout at Dr. Hudson’s farm in Cedar Grove, Santa Fe, NM. For an additional fee and expenses, Dr. Hudson will come to you and provide one-on-one, confidential marathon coaching intensives in your home, office or other location.This is NOT group work. In marathon coaching individuals meet one-on-one with Dr. Hudson for 5 hours a day and for 1-3 consecutive days and stay overnight at a nearby hotel or bed and breakfast (we can help you make arrangements).Each individual has a unique schedule that is worked out in advance. Marathon coaching is especially useful for physician or surgeon clients who cannot attend weekly coaching sessions andneedto travel from distantlocations. It provides a brief, intensive and focused approach to your coaching issues and is designed to help you learn new skills in less time.

Half of physicians report symptoms of burnout. Many are emotionally exhausted and feel disillusioned and cynical. If burnout is not managed they may experience depression, drug abuse, suicide, alcoholism, and other emotional problems. Unfortunately this can impact the quality of patient care. While many of the factors that cause burnout are systemic in modern medicine, there are several skills that can equip physicians to manage burnout and enjoy the practice of modern medicine. Some estimates suggest that the direct and indirect costs associated with replacing a physician can range from $100,000 to over $1M. This workshop explains why physician and surgeon burnout is a dilemma that must be managed and is not a problem that can be solved.
