STRENGTH

Get Connected

While healthcare is increasingly becoming a team sport, staying connected in relationships seems to be constantly under attack by various pressures. Here's some ways to fight to stay connected to colleagues, friends, and family. From face-to-face small groups to Facebook private groups, there's a whole host of ways you can keep building your professional support network.

Personal Resilience

If you made it through medical school and residency, you are resilient so don't let anybody tell you otherwise. But the skills of flexibility, adaptation, and personal self-care need to be constantly repaired as we grow through the stages of life and career.

Practice Differently

Based on how fast things are moving these days, there is no doubt that the way we learned how to practice medicine 20 years ago seems almost irrelevant. And they way it will be in just five to ten years is hard to imagine. If your practice isn't as efficient, productive, or fun as it used to be, maybe it's time for a tune-up.
