105. Defining Burnout: What is It and How to Recognize It - Teach Me Something Tuesday with Dr. F Scott Feil

Feeling burnt out at work? You're not alone. Burnout isn't just a buzzword – it's a real, serious condition that can have significant consequences on your health and well-being. Welcome to Teach Me Something Tuesday on the Healthcare Education Transformation podcast, where we'll be talking about burnout - a condition that has been receiving a lot of attention in recent years, particularly in the field of physical therapy. In fact, burnout is now recognized by the World Health Organization as a disease. Burnout is characterized by feeling exhausted and cynical of someone's job, as well as a drop in performance. It is specifically related to your job and it can affect healthcare clinicians, professors, and even students. In the next few episodes, we will delve further into burnout, discussing how to recognize it, its symptoms, and how to manage and treat it. Tune in to learn more about this important topic. Dr F Scott Feil is a husband, a father, a physical therapist, a professor, and most recently an Amazon best-selling author. F Scott is also a business coach and mentor despite starting his journey as an English major before landing as a Physical Therapist. He is one of the creators and co-hosts of the Healthcare Education Transformation Podcast which aims to break down the silos between healthcare professions in an attempt to find best practices in teaching and learning throughout healthcare academia. He also hosts the Professors of Profit Podcast where he interviews healthcare professionals about their side gigs and side hustles. His goal is to help at least 222 professors (one from every PT School at the time of publication of his book) and clinicians pay off their student loans quicker and/or more efficiently by using multiple revenue streams. If he helps some others with terminal degrees or other healthcare clinicians along the way, then it’s a bonus! He is also the owner of PTEducator.com , FGI Consulting, and Epic Therapy and Wellness. His areas of interest are in the realms of Geriatrics, Service Based Learning, and Business. Special thanks to both our sponsors, The NPTE Final Frontier, and Varela Financial!

What makes them unique is that they view financial planning as like running hurdles on a track. And for PTs, the first hurdle many of us run into is student loan debt. Varela Financial will help you get over that hurdle. They not only take the time to explain to you which plans you individually qualify for and how those plans work, but they ALSO take the time to show you what YOUR individual case looks like mapped out within each option.
