A conversation about wellness, sustainability, and restoring your purpose in medicine. This episode is an invitation to reframe how we view our role in medicine. We emphasize long-term well-being over short-term fixes and prioritizing the human side of medicine. We share practical tools for rekindling your passion and calibrating your energy.  Dr. Linda Hawes Clever is the founding President of RENEW, a nonprofit dedicated to helping healthcare professionals, especially doctors, maintain and regain their enthusiasm, effectiveness, and sense of purpose. Dr. Hawes Clever has spent decades advocating for physician well-being.  In this conversation, she shares valuable insights on how we can renew, refresh, and recalibrate for greater sustainability in our work and lives. Dr. Hawes Clever earned her medical degrees from Stanford University and has held numerous distinguished positions, including Clinical Professor of Medicine at UCSF, Associate Dean at Stanford, and founding Chair of Occupational Health at California Pacific Medical Center. She is an active member of the National Academy of Medicine and has received multiple prestigious awards, including the American Medical Women's Association Elizabeth Blackwell Award, the Stanford Medal for extraordinary service to the university,  the ACP AlbertStengel Award for Service and Achievement, and the California Medical Association's Nye Award for her contributions to physician health and well-being.  When Dr Clever and I were trained I medicine, we were told we should focus our attention exclusively on patient care and stay out of politics and systems. We encourage you to broaden your perspective. Physician Wellness is art, science, and business. It is an opportunity. This mindset shift allows you to approach challenges with curiosity and openness, leading to new and creative solutions for sustaining well-being.  Conversation, connection, and renewal are essential. Friendship and human connection can be life-saving. This is why small group coaching, retreats, and ongoing communities of support are so critical for physician wellness and sustainability.  Memorable moments: Physician wellness is a value, not a problem. When we treat it as a value, we create opportunities instead of obstacles. Friendship is a life-saving relationship. We're not meant to navigate life's challenges alone. Wellness doesn't have to be complicated—it starts with connection, conversation, and curiosity. We tend to listen to respond, rather than listen to understand. Imagine the change if we simply paused and truly heard one another. Which balls are rubber and which are glass? Knowing the difference can prevent exhaustion and help us prioritize what truly matters. No mud, no lotus. Sometimes our most beautiful transformations come from the messiest moments. Patients want their doctors to be well. The best care comes from those who have the energy and capacity to give it. We are allowed to see ourselves with the same compassion we show our patients. Doctors are human too. Burnout isn't just an individual issue—it's a systemic one. But real change starts with small, human moments of connection and renewal. Curiosity is the source of discovery, adventure, and even joy. If you've lost your curiosity, it might be time to renew. Dr. Clever's work at RENEW focuses on bringing health to those who give health, helping medical professionals regain their passion and sense of purpose. She believes that by learning to listen, connect, and prioritize our well-being, we can create a more sustainable and fulfilling career in healthcare.

It includes valuable insights for those feeling overwhelmed by the demands of juggling too many responsibilities. If you are juggling too many responsibilities, consider joining a community of support at Pause & Presence.

At first, the operating room and an art studio may seem to be the antithesis of settings and purposes. However, they could not be more alike and comparable: the stillness of focus of both operating on an organ and painting on a canvas, the vast array of sterile scalpels and paintbrushes, the richness of flowing bright red blood on the table and the maroon pigment dripping on the floor from the board, and the surge of adrenaline in the events of a crashing patient and a new creative idea in the spur of the moment. For our episode's expert guest today, this is definitely the case: the colliding worlds of brain surgery and the fine arts, the sacred space of the surgical room and the atelier. Truly, when she is not operating on a brain, she is painting one.We are joined by ambidextrous neurosurgeon and multimedia artist Dr. Kathryn Ko. She received her BA in Zoology and MD from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa John A. Burns School of Medicine, Neurosurgery residency at the University of Washington and Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and MFA in Painting from the Academy of Arts University, where she graduated Cum Laude.

In this episode, we have Samantha Lai, a medical student as our guest. She will discuss the disparity in venture capital investment for startups led by women, and how this gap can be narrowed by encouraging female physicians to become entrepreneurs. Despite the traditional and risk-averse nature of the health care industry, it is a field where there is a relatively level playing field for women and a wealth of opportunities for innovation. Samantha explains how it affects women in male-dominated fields and how organizations like the American Medical Women's Association are working to provide a nurturing environment for female physician-entrepreneurs through events such as innovation challenges and pitch competitions. Tune in to learn more about how we can bridge the gap in gender representation in entrepreneurship and health care. Samantha Lai is a medical student. She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "Medical innovation: a serendipitous step toward gender equity." The Podcast by KevinMD is brought to you by the Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience. With so many demands on their time, physicians today report record levels of burnout. Burnout is caused by many factors, one of which is clinical documentation. Studies indicate physicians spend two hours documenting care for every hour spent with patients. At Nuance, we are committed to helping physicians do what you love – care for patients – and spend less time on clinical documentation. The Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience, or DAX for short, is an AI-powered, ambient clinical intelligence solution that automatically captures patient encounters securely and accurately at the point of care. Physicians who use DAX have reported a 50 percent decrease in documentation time and a 70 percent reduction in feelings of burnout, and 83 percent of patients say their physician is more personable and conversational. Rediscover the joy of medicine with clinical documentation that writes itself, all within the EHR.

Dr. Theresa Rohr-Kirchgraber, a California native, is an internist and professor of medicine at the AU/UGA Medical Partnership in Athens, GA. As the president of the American Medical Women's Association, her passion is equity in medicine and healthcare, both for physicians and the community. In this episode, Theresa talks about her unique path to medicine and the resets she has made as a clinician-educator.  Who knew that baton twirling would have the outcome it did!  She shares her strategy to determine the timing for those resets noting it is ok to sometimes need a change of scenery. Her outlook on options as a physician, particularly as a generalist, is a refreshing take.  We recorded this interview in mid-June 2022 prior to the Supreme Court decision but she was already highlighting the powerful need for advocacy in all aspects but particularly equity and women's reproductive health. She appeals "Let's not go backwards." Listen in to learn more about AMWA, the Power of Women book she just read, and the power of a community of physicians.  Pearls of Wisdom: 1. Finding a supportive community can lead to opportunities of "Why Not!" 2. Being a part of larger organization can help sort out the rough edges, give perspective, and be a source of support and strength in numbers. It can give you visibility on a larger scale and help you find your place in the world. 3. Consider a five-year check in to determine if you are getting the same amount of joy out of a role that you were before.  4. Doctors have options and remember there are so few of us around! 5. Know the importance of advocacy- even on the 1:1 level. Advocacy work helps you get a better understanding of how your community works.  6. Be Proactive.

 “If we really focus on good care for each other, we are in a much better position to offer good care for the patients. ” - Dr. Natasha W. L Beauvais MD, MPH   What happens in a medical organization when the healthcare team learns how to care for each other, and how does that impact job satisfaction and patient care? How does it impact employee retention? Cohost Dr. Jen Barna talks with Dr. Natasha W. Lewry Beauvais MD, MPH about her practice and implementation of programs that do just that.  As a physician at Northern Virginia Family Practice Associates, a concierge medical practice, Dr. Beauvais shares how her practice has established their positive workplace culture by first recognizing what you can do to make those around you succeed. By asking what you may do to support your coworkers, Dr. Beauvais and Dr. Barna talk about the importance of maintaining high levels of trust throughout your team and how to perpetuate the want to care for your teammates and how that leads to better patient care. How does this approach lead to a shift in mindset so that you may find more joy practicing medicine with those around you?   Book mentioned in the podcast: What Got You Here Won't Get You Here by Marshall Goldsmith Natasha W.
