If you think you may be experiencing burnout, what can you do? To answer this question, Dr. Fallucco discusses strategies to combat healthcare burnout with Dr. Jessi Gold, Chief Wellness Officer at the University of Tennessee Health System. 

 WE discuss:
*  That systemic changes in Healthcare are urgently needed to reduce burnout.
*  Individual strategies to address burnout in the current healthcare system including:
----- practicing self-reflection -  and asking, "How Do *I* feel?" and "How is my job affecting my health?"  
-----practicing self-compassion and gratitude, which can help counterbalance the natural tendency for our brain to focus on negative things and threats, 
---  We discuss the “Three Good Things” exercise which  can help reduce burnout and increase well-being. Three Good Things and other free tools are available at the Duke Center for Healthcare Safety and Quality online at: https://hsq.dukehealth.org/tools/ 

Dr. Jessi Gold is an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at UT Health Science Center. Dr. Gold is not only a psychiatrist, but she is a mental health advocate and fantastic writer whose work has appeared in the New York Times, The Atlantic, InStyle, Slate, and Self.
