Episode 23: A Conversation with Dr. Susan Landers about Burnout in the Healthcare Industry

The high level of burnout among clinicians in the U.S. is leading many to consider leaving the healthcare field entirely. This is having a negative impact on the quality of care patients receive. The healthcare industry needs help to protect and retain its workforce, which in turn will improve the quality of care patients receive.

Dr. Landers has a unique perspective, having practiced academic neonatology for fourteen years and serving on the faculty of two medical schools while raising three children with her husband. 

In her book So Many Babies, Dr. Landers shares her experience with burnout and what we can do to prevent it. She provides insights into the causes of burnout and how to address them before they become a problem. Although the episode focuses on the healthcare industry, it is a must-listen for anyone who wants to understand more about burnout and how to avoid it in their own life.
