5. Four Levels of Physician Well-Being with Harjot Singh MD
Oftentimes, the terms wellness and well-being are used interchangeably. Is there a significant difference especially in the context of physician burnout?
This is expounded by Dr. Harjot Singh, a physician wellness and burnout prevention coach. He is Assistant Medical Director in Kingsview Tele-Psychiatry services in California, a Fellow of American Psychiatric Association, and one of our coaches at TheHappyMD.com. He shares with us his four-level system of wellbeing, namely succumbing, surviving, existing, and thriving. Tune in on today’s episode to learn more.
“Well-being is not just this weird positive thing all the time, take for example a busy life of a physician. Every day we have a chance to do good. It's almost like we have to travel to any place else, to have that sense I did good today.”
