ABSTRACT
Physician burnout is at epidemic levels. In our role as healers, the concepts of humanism and relief of suffering are central themes in our work, yet burnout and depersonalization can threaten these values. While working to mitigate burnout, we need to move towards a focus on health and well-being and develop preventive strategies to cultivate resilience. This manuscript discusses the intrinsic factors that motivate us to be physicians medicine as a calling, finding meaning in our work, and seeking joy in practice. Some strategies that enhance our resilience will be discussed including individual reflective practices, in addition to organizational strategies such as creating team mission statements, and participating in debriefing, Balint groups, and Schwartz Rounds. All of these practices provide opportunities to acknowledge the emotional impact of our care of patients and to focus on our values and the meaning of our work. Strategies to cultivate joy in practice are presented alongside a framework from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement to guide organizations.
