Finding Purpose: Honing the Practice of Making Meaning in Medicine.
Permanente Journal 2017
Despite decades of advances in diagnosing and treating a broad range of illnesses, many changes in our health care system impede true caregiving, leaving patients and practitioners dissatisfied and creating an emotional burden for practitioners that contributes to the staggering rates of physician burnout.
