A PRESCRIPTION FOR PROFESSIONAL BURNOUT.

: In the closing months of 2016, my work with the Iowa Medical Society gave me the privilege of visiting with many fellow physicians across our wonderful state. If is a deep honor to meet with colleagues who are so committed to the well-being of their patients, their communities, and our profession. Simultaneously, I am concerned to hear the all-too-common tales of exhaustion, stress, and frustration at work - classic signs of professional burnout.
