Looking to attract the right staff members to your practice? The key to attracting top talent is to cultivate a healthy office environment. Here are tips for fostering a positive culture at your medical practice! "Employee appreciation may sound trite, but health care is a stressful profession. Experts agree that sometimes just saying thank you goes a long way, and not just with words. Grierson stocks a treat drawer with sweet and healthy snacks up to spicy ramen for days when lunch may not happen." #Physicians #Doctors #Pediatricians #PediatricPractice #PhysicianPractice #MedicalPractice

👩⚕️👨⚕️ While LinkedIn might make it seem like all doctors are unhappy, the reality is different. Sure, burnout is a real issue, especially in emergency medicine, hospital medicine, and pediatrics. But there’s another side to the story. 🔍 A recent AMA survey found that over two-thirds of physicians are satisfied with their jobs. Like any profession, there are frustrations and unmet expectations, but the rewards are immense. 🌟 The work we do is meaningful. We interact with people from all walks of life, enjoy intellectual stimulation, and work with fantastic colleagues. We’re always learning, both about medicine and life itself. Many of us feel that unmistakable sense of doing what we were meant to do. 💡 Medical careers aren’t perfect, and there's room for improvement. That's where end-to-end revenue cycle management services come in. By streamlining administrative tasks, we can reduce burnout, improve job satisfaction, and ensure doctors can focus on what they do best: caring for patients. 🚀 Let's work together to enhance the medical profession, making it more sustainable and rewarding. Many doctors, including myself, feel fortunate to do what we do—and we’d choose this path again in a heartbeat. #MedicalProfession #JobSatisfaction #HealthcareSolutions #RevenueCycleManagement #PhysicianWellbeing

Lotte Dyrbye, MD, MHPE, CU School of Medicine’s senior associate dean for faculty and chief well-being officer, led a study that investigated whether the prevalence of burnout varied among different groups of students during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study found that burnout risk did vary by gender, race and ethnicity, and sexual orientation – and not always in ways that might have been expected.

THE ADVENTURE OF A MEDICAL DOCTOR ON NYSC CAMP CONCLUSION (2) This is the final part of this series. There will be no part 3. While on camp, we had to collect data on paper. This was one of the most tasking jobs I had to organize. There was a health recording officer from the teaching hospital we had coalesced with, however we as the doctors also collected our data separately then we combined, and compared what we collected with what the health recording officers collected. We divided the data we collected into two places, the record book and a portfolio. The portfolio was for the patients' case notes which were divided into their platoons and subdivided into the dates they visited the clinic first. The record book contained the names, ages, sex, the assessment, and then management that was carried out. Initially, I and the consultant were the ones who filled it but when my colleagues joined, I had to rotate it because it was quite tasking to do alone. It was simultaneous with seeing the patients twice. On the day we recorded about 121 patients, I and my colleagues took turns filling it into the night. When our favourite +1 joined our cubicle, she took pleasure in helping us fill it and that eased some of our burdens. Today, I will be sharing data and statistics on the overall outcome from the clinic with possible hope this may be a background for research into the care given in an isolated camp for more than 2 weeks. We saw a number of familiar and unfamiliar cases, and with the materials at our disposal, we gave a good amount of care and saw positive results. Compiling this data was meant to be my final administrative duty as the CMD and the previous data I had collected helped me document it properly. I was given a template set by the previous CMDs and with it, I created mine. I had one more document I would have created but I was unable to do, that would have been a template on how to easily run the clinic as a guide for the next CMD. However, I believe whoever managed the clinic after me created their own pattern as I had created mine. I cannot say I am a big fan of statistics but I enjoy collecting and organising data. I created this document using my mobile phone because laptops were not allowed. The person who printed it out for me was kind to help edit it on his own accord and he added a number of changes to my writeup. I did not have ample time to write and edit, so his gesture went a long way to give it a better outlook. N.B If you were in a similar position as I was, would you mind sharing your challenges and your wins in the comment section? Let's make this post interactive. This bring me to the end of this part of my story. In coming posts, I will begin a fresh page on my experience with being a corper doctor. #data #statistics #mobiletech #research #leadership #camp #infectioncontrol #epidemiology #publichealth #sexualhealth #pregnancy

Michigan faces a critical shortage of primary care doctors, particularly in underserved areas like Sebewaing. With hundreds of vacancies for family doctors, internal medicine physicians, and pediatricians, patients are left waiting weeks or months for appointments. This shortage is exacerbated by retiring doctors and unfilled residency slots. Despite efforts to address the issue, such as expanding medical schools and offering loan repayment programs, many rural and urban areas still struggle. Factors like high student debt and lower salaries in primary care make it challenging to attract new doctors, who often opt for higher-paid specialties. Programs like MIDOCs aim to incentivize doctors to serve in these areas, but the impact is still limited. The issue isn't just a lack of doctors but also the complexity of rural healthcare needs. For patients like Emily Chumbler, limited options mean driving long distances or relying on midwives, as the medical infrastructure continues to thin in Michigan's rural communities. #neurology #medicalprovidershortage #ruralmedicine With the Specialist combines artificial intelligence with a board certified neurologist to enhance neurological care, bringing the neurology consult to you.
