Reflection is needed in Healthcare

Dr. Monica Berner, a physician and healthcare executive, joined Dr. McKinley on this podcast to discuss the importance of taking time to reflect on workplace realities. Physicians spend many long hours on the job with so many things happening that they hardly have time to process it all. Silence is an important part of everyday lives. Yet, physicians don’t often consider the importance of silence in helping them to reflect on what they are doing. Reflection is especially important in medicine that if clinicians regularly practiced it, they would experience better decision making and a deeper connection to their purpose.
