Trevor Turner, MD, is our guest once again. In this interview, we talk about his powerful relationship with giving back, medical volunteer work overall and the ways it helps reduce feelings of burnout.

Aid work has been the catalyst for Dr. Turner’s trademark compassion and empathy over the years as both a physician and in his everyday life away from work. As we chat about in today’s discussion, volunteering can provide a deeply fulfilling rejuvenation of energy.

It can provide healthcare workers – and really anyone -- with many lasting emotional rewards inside, including a reduction of burnout.

Dr. Turner is a physician coach with the Healthcare Experience Foundation. In addition to his HXF coaching role, Dr. Turner is Director of Center for Orthobiologics at Georgia Bone and Joint, a midsized orthopedics practice near Atlanta.
