In this episode, Dr Rui Ariyapala speaks with Dr Mark Martinez, who is a native New Yorker practicing Emergency Medicine at Baptist Health South Florida in Miami. He attended medical school at SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University in Brooklyn before completing his residency in Emergency Medicine at Albert Einstein/Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx. Dr. Martinez recently graduated with a Masters in Industrial Organizational Psychology at Florida International University, and he shares how he developed his approach to preventing and mitigating physician burnout and discusses the utility of ‘Participative Management’. Dr. Martinez had practiced physician coaching for several years focusing on wellness and personal development. The motivation for all of that was a difficult and protracted personal battle with burnout and mental illness. Aside from practicing emergency medicine Dr. Martinez is currently working as a consultant for the FIU Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine, developing a more evidence-based and specific approach to medical student selection. We discuss his personal experience as an Emergency Physician through COVID and how he conducted a resident wellness program along with several faculty members at his residency alma mater, using a three-pronged personal coaching, group training, and daily ritual approach.
