Charting is neutral. It's because we can each have different thoughts about it.  It restores a certain amount of agency and empowerment so that you can choose how you want to take that next step in your life. Join me in this episode as we take a moment and think about how you can finish your charting at work. Finishing that charting at work involves achieving a level of charting mastery. It's not about getting to a level where you say, “I am a super user.” It's about getting to a point where you can finish work at work, go home to be present with family and friends, and pursue other interests outside work. All those priorities are intentional and have the margin of what matters to you. Learn more in this episode.

We all have thoughts about what we want our future to look like.  From childhood, we have had dreams of what we want to be and an ideal future that we hope to bring to reality. Maybe it was getting into a given specialty, a particular job, or getting into dating. It could be anything, but it required taking action to move forward.   It is all about pursuing the desired future feeling. Our future starts with a thought of where we're and where we want to be.  Going out there and putting on our future identity will help us to make progress and ultimately get there.

Sleep deprivation is detrimental to physical health, mental health, and learning, but it's harder to notice. It can affect your creativity and thinking skills. The best way to know if you are not getting enough sleep is to look at a time when you should have peak awareness.   If you feel like you are tired, yawning, or need a cup of coffee to function, that is a good indicator that you are not getting enough sleep. Becoming self-aware of what sleep deprivation looks likes for you can help you advocate and correct it. Everybody sleeps, and everyone needs sleep, and the more you are able to advocate for yourself, the more other people understand that they are not alone in their struggles.  Join the conversation with Dr. Audrey Wells as we discuss the importance of sleep and how we can take control of our sleep to feel more awake and improve our mental wellness and productivity.    During this episode, you will learn about; [00:00] Introduction to the show  [02:07] A bit about our guest today, Dr. Audrey Wells  [02:40] Dr. well's career background and her journey in medicine  [04:29] What inspired Dr. Well into sleep medicine  [06:50] When Dr. Well realized that he was sleep sensitive [10:21] Signs that show you are sleep deprived and need to take action [11:19] The difference between sleep deprivation and being drunk  [14:55] One way to know if you are getting enough sleep  [16:09] Steps to take when you realize you have sleep problems  [19:19] A practical tip on how to take control of your sleep  [19:47] How screens compete with our sleep  [24:12] Self-awareness and putting limits on technology to give your brain some space  [25:41] Net gain loss: The impact of sleep on creativity and productivity  [29:12] Dr, Wells's message to her younger self and anyone starting out  [31:46] Ending the show and call to action  Notable Quotes  One night of sleep loss is about the same as being drunk, having an alcohol level of 0.8 to 0.1 The brain likes a consistent wake-up time over a consistent bedtime, so consider what time you wake up and work backward.

As a physician, you have the ability to do what you want and design your physician life around your vision and values. However, sometimes you can feel stuck, lost, and burned out in your practice or business, and advocating for your wellness is your first step toward a more fulfilling experience.  Designing your physician's life can look like many things. It doesn't have to look like what everybody else is doing. You have so many different options, and incorporating your unique personality and gifting in your practice and creating alternatives will help you practice for joy and not for need. Understand what moves you and what you want to be around you to start building the career and the life you want. This will help you advocate for your wellness better.  Join the conversation with Dr. Myrdalis Diaz-Ramirez as we discuss how you can design your physician life around your values and vision for your career.  During this episode, you will learn about; [00:00] Introduction to the show  [01:53] A bit about our guest today, Dr. Myrdalis Diaz-Ramirez  [02:45] Dr. Diaz-Ramirez's background and her journey in medicine    [04:29] How Dr. Diaz-Ramirez brought her unique personality and gifts to patients' care   [07:01] Defining your physician life and advocating for your patients  [10:06] Partnership with the community and how Dr. Diaz-Ramirez makes it work  [14:52] Creating options and alternatives for yourself as a physician  [18:21] The importance of team and community in entrepreneurship   [23:18] How Dr. Diaz-Ramirez is helping physicians through mastermind [25:39] Mental health and how to support yourself and your patients  [29:14] What a mastermind is and Dr. Diaz-Ramirez's mastermind groups [32:2s] About Dr. Diaz-Ramirez's words of the year, Together [33:30] Dr. Diaz-Ramirez's message to physicians in training or getting started   [34:55] How to connect or work with Dr. Diaz-Ramirez  [35:29] Ending the show and call to action    Notable Quotes  In the same way, you feel trapped in a job; your employee can feel trapped too.  You have the ability to do what you want and design your physician life; it will help your wellness.  Entrepreneurship can look like many things; you don't have to build a big business.   As physicians, we have to have other alternatives that can create passive income to help you practice for joy and not for need.  Understanding what moves you and who you want to be around is important in your vision.   We become who we surround ourselves with; choose what you want to guide your life, and take it from there.

Physicians are the first ones who care for other people's health. However, they have difficulty taking care of themselves and their wellness.  The medical profession is under immense pressure to perform more and more while sustaining the same level of quality, which can create a desire to place work above all as they care for patients and others around them. Yet, physicians need to prioritize their self-care, provide for themselves, and find time for rest. Join the conversation with Dr. Alicia Shelly as we discuss running from burnout to wellness with mindset and margin. She enjoys running, traveling, and spending time with family in her free time, and by making some changes in her charting, she has been able to create the margin to continue her outside pursuits as she trains for an Ironman triathlon.     Are you a physician who feels overwhelmed by charting, bringing work home, not to mention the endless paperwork?

Most of us see burnout as a physical, emotional, and mental state that occurs when we feel depleted or overwhelmed, but it actually affects our brain.  It has been shown that when we have chronic burnout, our hippocampus gets thinner, and the prefrontal cortex is affected, making it more difficult for us to focus, make good decisions, and remember information. This impacts our physical, emotional, and mental wellness, which makes us more likely to be stressed out by non-stressor situations, very reactive, easily upset, and more irritable.  Eliminating burnout is key to optimal performance, and to achieve it, you need to make yourself a priority and re-evaluate what works for you and what doesn't. Practicing self-care, mindfulness, and looking out for yourself can help you feel better, make better decisions and perform better.  Join the conversation with Dr. Puja Aggarwal as she shares more about mindset, meditation, and mindfulness, from a neurologist's perspective on burnout. Dr. Aggarwal is a certified burnout and stress management coach, and a board-certified Neurologist and Epileptologist. Dr. Aggarwal experienced burnout as a physician five years ago when she was overwhelmed, overworked and tired.    Through coaching, she learned how to change her mindset and became more self-aware to realize her priorities and boundaries. She now runs Zenful Brain Coaching to help female professionals overcome burnout and lead empowered lives with fulfillment, fun, and freedom. Dr. Aggarwal uses a science-based approach to help her clients to optimize the use of their brains, and she has her own podcast, Zenful Brain, where she discusses ways to optimize our brain to live a more mindful and empowered life.   Tune in!   During this episode, you will learn about; [00:00] Introduction to the show  [02:14] A bit about our guest today, Dr. Puja Aggarwal [03:37] Dr. Aggarwal's journey in medicine and how it led to burnout  [09:04] How coaching helped Dr. Aggarwal beat burnout  [13:21] How burnout affects the brain and performance  [15:18] Using mindfulness and meditation to improve your performance  [19:28] The root cause of burnout in the healthcare system  [21:49] Dr. Aggarwal's message to young attendants coming out of residency  [24:23] How to reach out, connect or learn more about Dr. Aggarwal [24:44] Ending the show and call to action    Notable Quotes  There are no golden handicaps, and you don't have to continue your job because of money; there are other better opportunities to make money.

There is no one perfect answer to what makes a great medical practice. Many different factors come into play when creating the ideal practice for yourself and your patients, but self-care is one of the key buzzwords that cannot be left out of the equation.  Selfcare is not just about eating well and taking rest. There is more to it, especially when it comes to identifying what the ideal way of practicing medicine looks likes for you.   n addition to prioritizing yourself, you have to advocate for what you believe in, be intentional about setting healthy boundaries between your practice and personal life, and learn to be more present in each of them. This will help you bring the highest value as a clinician and enjoy your personal life alongside your professional life. Join the conversation with Dr. Emeka Obidi as he shares how you can create an ideal medical practice atmosphere for you, your team, and your family.

As a physician, managing your finances can be surprisingly easy to do, but more often, finances tend to fall into the 'important but not urgent category.

Closed-loop communication matters in patient care, reducing errors and helping teamwork with communication and workflow, particularly in situations where there is increased variability. It ensures that the message is properly received by exposing deficiencies that we may have in describing what we heard, which can reflect distraction, confusing terms, or different literacy levels. Using closed-loop communication will not only save you from making errors but also creates an opportunity to teach and empower your medical teams to know why they are doing certain things rather than just following protocols.    Join the conversation with your host Dr. Ryan Stegink as he shares more about closed-looped communication, how you can make a difference in your patient care, and how you experience your critical workflows.   During this episode, you will learn about; [00:01] Introduction to the show  [01:52] Today's focus: Workflow optimization   [03:03] Lessons from Dr. Ryan closed-loop communication with his realtor  [04:54] What is closed-loop communication [06:39] Where you should use closed-loop communication  [09:36] When to use closed-loop communication and why it matters [11:43] Changing how you engage with others and feel about your job [12:16] Ending the show and call to action    Want to get home sooner from clinic or the hospital?

An effective charting process is important for physicians because it helps them get more out of their work. Your input and those from other stakeholders need to be recorded in the notes. This makes easy documentation and charting efficiency crucial in creating a congruent, transparent, and flourishing system.    There are so many things that you can do as a physician. Some you can implement yourself, and others are outside your control, but you can advocate for them. However, to create quick wins for you, your patients, and your critical team, focus more on what you can change.    Join the conversation with your host Dr. Ryan Stegink as he shares more on medical charting, why, where, and some of the things we need to change to improve efficiency in clinical workflows and, ultimately, wellness for medical teams.   During this episode, you will learn about; [00:01] Introduction to the show  [01:52] What in for you in today's episode [02:37] Investing in family by applying lessons in episode 34 [03:34] Making a difference for you, your patients, and your critical team [04:21] Dr. Ryan's experience with charting in residency [06:00] Why charting, what it entails and what it is for  [07:30] The what and where of charting [09:56] What we need to change to flourish and increase efficiency  [12:01] How to shift your mindset around charting  [13:10] Take the next step and get things done in a way that allows you to take care of yourself  [13:48] Ending the show and call to action  Want to get home sooner from clinic or the hospital?
