Physician Assistant Burnout: Tips, Tools, and Interviews with PA and Life Coach Hope Cook

Shownotes Transcript

Who are you? No, seriously. Who are you outside of your role as a PA or other healthcare provider? Inauthenticity is exhausting. Those were the very words of a coaching client earlier today, and they made me consider how this plays into burnout. I used to call it "tap dancing" for patients, and she was 100% right: This misalignment IS exhausting.

Listen to this episode for tips on being your authentic self WHILE still being a professional PA.
