A PRESCRIPTION FOR PROFESSIONAL BURNOUT.

In the closing months of 2016, my work with the Iowa Medical Society gave me the privilege of visiting with many fellow physicians across our wonderful state. If is a deep honor to meet with colleagues who are so committed to the well-being of their patients, their communities, and our profession. Simultaneously, I am concerned to hear the all-too-common tales of exhaustion, stress, and frustration at work - classic signs of professional burnout.
