Shownotes Transcript

This episode is all about resiliency. We have a demanding, repetitive job with a lot of stress. Whether it's trying to navigate massive student loan debt, figuring out how to become a practice owner, or handling difficult parents, it's important to take care of ourselves in order to practice for decades instead of years.

Dr. Niloo Mofakhami is a pediatric dentist from Virginia, and a practice owner of 20 years. We talk about resilience strategies that she shares with younger docs and residents that she mentors. Some of these topics include:

  • Not working weekends

  • Taking quality lunch breaks

  • Seeing the appropriate number of patients in a day

  • Prioritizing health

  • Talking to a therapist

  • Outsourcing tasks
