Healthcare Leaders, Are You Listening? with Diane Shannon, MD

Dr. Bradley Block of The Physician's Guide to Doctoring has got something special for our audience up his sleeve! Join us every Friday for a new show and new sound on our podcast for the month of November! Let's begin episode 2 of 5! After experiencing paralyzing burnout as a newly-minted primary care physician, Dr. Diane Shannon made the hard decision to leave practice and pursue a career in writing. Her focus for 20 years has been drawing attention to ways to address clinician burnout, system inefficiency, and patient safety problems. She is co-author of Preventing Physician Burnout: Curing the Chaos and Returning Joy to the Practice of Medicine, which was published in 2016.  Her personal experience with burnout and her desire to support clinicians motivated her to become a certified coach three years ago. She now helps clinicians gain clarity on their goals, increase their bandwidth, overcome barriers, and improve their professional and personal lives. Today's sponsor is LocumStory.
