In this Heartline Echo Episode, we revisit a powerful conversation about recovery in healthcare. As part of a three-part series, this episode focuses on macro recoveries - extended breaks that go beyond standard vacations. I share my personal experience of taking a three-month sabbatical from clinical work, which led to a transformative shift in my approach to emergency medicine. Joined by Dr. Cheryl Martin and Dr. Dan Dworkis, we explore the importance of long-term recovery for healthcare professionals. Key insights from our discussion include: The changing landscape of emergency medicine and the increased challenges faced by healthcare workers The value of extended breaks in regaining clarity, creativity, and passion for one's work Strategies for maintaining clinical skills during periods of reduced shifts or extended time off The importance of aligning one's career with personal values and priorities Discover how to: Recognize when you need more than just a vacation to recover from burnout Navigate guilt and shame associated with taking extended breaks from clinical work Create a sustainable career path that includes periods of rest and rejuvenation Leverage insights from other high-performance fields to improve recovery practices in healthcare This episode offers invaluable perspectives for healthcare professionals at all stages of their careers, especially those grappling with burnout or questioning their long-term sustainability in the field. We challenge the notion that full-time clinical work is the only path to success and explore alternative models for fulfilling medical careers. "You are worth it. You are worth your recovery... You are 100% worth it. And you're worth that vacation and you're worth taking a sabbatical if you need it." Join us for this thought-provoking conversation that advocates for "radical recovery" in healthcare. Learn how embracing extended periods of rest and reflection can lead to more sustainable, fulfilling careers and ultimately improve patient care. This episode is part of a three-part series on recovery in healthcare. Don't miss the companion episodes on micro and meso recoveries, which are available on The Emergency Mind, episode 65 on YouTube or Apple and The Mindful Medic podcasts, respectively.

In this milestone 100th episode of Heartline Change Making in Healthcare, I reflect on the journey that has brought us here and the path that lies ahead. From its inception as "The Revitalizing Doctor" to now, this podcast has evolved into a platform for exploring the multifaceted challenges and opportunities in healthcare transformation. I begin by acknowledging the mentors and colleagues who have shaped this journey, including Dr. Dan Dworkis, founder of The Emergency Mind, who provided invaluable insights into finding one's purpose in medicine. His words serve as a reminder that our roles as healthcare professionals can and should extend beyond traditional boundaries. Celebrating Women in Medicine The podcast's roots in amplifying women's voices in medicine remain a core focus. I discuss the resurgence of FemInEM and my new role as Director of Well-being, highlighting the continued importance of gender equity in healthcare. A powerful clip from Dr. Dara Kass, founder of FemInEM, underscores the unique energy and problem-solving capacity of emergency physicians when united. I interviewed Dr. Shikha Jain, the founder of the Women in Medicine Summit. Don't miss the Women in Medicine conference in September, and in 2025, FemInEM will be there, too! Systemic Change Through Individual Growth Drawing from my ongoing research on Physician Changemakers, I emphasize the critical link between individual transformation and systemic change in healthcare. This podcast serves as a platform for both personal healing and collective action, inspired by theoretical frameworks that underscore the power of transformative learning. Leadership and Well-being in Healthcare Conversations with experts like Dr. Josh Hartzell (author of A Prescription for Caring in Healthcare Leadership: Building a Culture of Compassion and Excellence) and Dr. Eve Purdy highlight the crucial role of effective leadership in addressing burnout and improving well-being in healthcare. Their insights remind us that cultivating strong leaders is not just beneficial but essential for the future of medicine. The Power of Coaching and Self-Reflection Throughout the episode, I revisit impactful discussions on coaching, perfectionism, and self-compassion with guests like Dr. Kara Pepper and Sharee Johnson. These conversations underscore the importance of personal development and self-awareness in becoming effective changemakers. Looking Ahead As we celebrate this milestone, I share exciting updates about the podcast's future, including: A series of re-releases featuring improved audio quality Upcoming miniseries focused on deep dives into specific topics The launch of a YouTube channel The release of the "Revitalized" audiobook This 100th episode is a testament to the power of community, continuous learning, and the unwavering commitment to improving healthcare for both clinicians and patients. Join me as we reflect on our journey and look forward to the next chapter of transforming healthcare, one conversation at a time.

In this episode of the Emergency Mind Podcast, host Dan collaborates with the Key Lime Plus Podcast from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. Joined by Dr. Adam Szulewski and Dr. Julie Law, they discuss the dynamics of performing under pressure from the perspectives of students and teachers. They explore the use of simulation in medical training, the concept of cognitive load, and the challenges of translating book knowledge into real-world practice. The conversation highlights the importance of introspection, the potential of measuring cognitive overload through technology, and the intersection of patient safety with performance training. The episode also emphasizes the need for a holistic training pipeline that prepares medical professionals to deliver high-stakes care efficiently and effectively.

This episode is all about how to perform better in a crisis. I am joined today by Dr. Dan Dworkis. He's not only an emergency physician, he's someone who's taken the high pressure experiences of the emergency room and turned them into a framework for performing better under pressure across all kinds of fields from emergency medicine to the boardroom.

To this end he created and hosts  The Emergency Mind Podcast to bring lessons from the emergency department and beyond to you so you can apply knowledge under pressure and getting done what needs doing and done. He also wrote a book titled Emergency Mind: Wiring Your Brain for Performance Under PressureQuestions We Asked: Why did you feel the need to create The Emergency Mind? Is poise under pressure a learned skill or innate? What are valuable skills you have learned creating The Emergency Mind? How does someone successfully improve through a performance loop? What are ways to decrease stress while performing procedures? How does the Emergency Mind address team dynamics? How do you build a well functioning solid team?How do you run a successful debrief?  Advice for medical leaders under pressure? Book Suggestions? Quotes & Ideas: Applying knowledge under pressure is a separate learned skill What happens when you are trying to intubate a patient and miss the first time? How do you recover and make the second attempt? Prepare-> Perform-> Recover-> Evolve “Create an environment that sets you up for success” Experiment and be a scientist of yourself: Build->measure->learn Exposing yourself to stressful scenarios outside of the hospital can help you build skills to help clinically Use self-talk to help yourself manage acute stress When debriefing, learn to separate outcome from performance. You can sometimes have a poor outcome with perfect performance and also a good outcome with poor performance. Debriefs can use outcome vs. performance on a 2x2 matrix. Never Waste Suffering.

           Welcome to this very special mash up podcast edition with my previous guests Dr Andrea Austin MD and Dr Dan Dworkis MD on RECOVERY.Dr Dan Dworkis MD  Emergency Physician Host of The Emergency Mind Podcast and Author of The Emergency Mind book ( full bio S2E8)Dr Andrea Austin MD  Emergency Physician Simulation Educator and Host of The Revitalising Doctor Podcast. ( full bio S2E14)"There is no performance without recovery"        This is part 2 of a three part series recorded across our podcasts with a focus on recovery. In part 1 we explore "micro"-recovery and opportunities for brief and short term recovery and reset 'in the moment' on shift. In this episode we look at what Dan has aptly termed "meso-recovery" discussing how we might approach recovery pre, post and between shifts to allow us to maintain and sustain our performance and our wellbeing.  We discuss what this has looked like for us in the past, where we are at present and what it might look like at its best. I'm conscious I am speaking to relative experts in this space who have put significant time, energy, attention and intention into the "work" of recovery.  I think despite this however all of us would concede this is still very much a work in progress.       Both Andrea and Dan have valuable perspective to share from their personal journeys to date and whilst we acknowledge that this is going to look slightly different for individuals, there are some great pearls, tools and strategies to take to your next run of days ON and OFF.In the final part of the series we look at longer term cycles of "macro"-recovery in our approach to periodisation of work, play, rest and optimising performance, wellbeing and longevity of practice.           This recording and connecting with two incredible clinicians and now friends on their side of the planet, was a life highlight for me and this topic is Mind Full Medic Podcast core content.

This is a very unique episode that is part of 3 part series on recovery from clinical work in medicine. Part 1 is on micro-recovery and is on The Emergency Mind podcast hosted by Dr. Dan Dworkis. In this initial discussion,  Dan, Cheryl, and Andrea explore the what, how, and why behind micro recoveries during clinical work. For instance, how do you know when to take a micro recovery or break? Does it have to involve leaving the floor, or could taking a few deep breaths at your computer be effective?In part 2, we hop over to Dr. Cheryl Martin's podcast, The Mindful Medic. We discuss meso-recovery, which we define as recoveries that occur after clinical work. This spans in the hours post-shift, and may extend into the few days before another shift.In part 3, in this week's episode of The Revitalizing Doctor, we explore when to take a longer break, to recover. This spans from vacations to sabbaticals, and we also cover cutting back on clinical work, but not leaving all together.   For full bios of Dr. Dworkis and Dr. Martin, see below!

This week's conversation is with Dr. Dan Dworkis, an attending emergency physician and professor at USC's Keck School of Medicine, where he works at the Los Angeles County+USC Medical Center (one of the largest and busiest emergency departments in the country).Before that, he did his training with the Brigham and Women's Hospital / Massachusetts General Hospital Harvard Affiliated Emergency Medicine Residency.ER doctors or not, we all face emergencies in our lives– times when we are called on to make a decision to act, or not act – with skill to meet the demands of the moment – whether that's in an environment of uncertainty, pressure, or even intimacy.Dan believes deeply that all of us can improve how we function under pressure and in doing so perform at our best when we are needed the most. He's the founder of The Emergency Mind project which helps individuals and teams perform better under pressure both in and out of the emergency department – and that sets the tone for this conversation.----Please support our partners!We're able to keep growing and creating content for YOU because of their support.

            In S2 E14 I am delighted to welcome Dr Andrea Austin MD, FACEP, FAAEM, CHSE to the podcast. Dr Austin is an Emergency Physician and Simulation educator based in Southern California.  She graduated medical school from the University of Iowa and completed her emergency medicine residency at Naval Medical Center San Diego ( NMCSD) Dr Austin was the first female emergency physician to be stationed at Navy Trauma Training Center ( NTTC) at LA County + USC, one of the busiest trauma centers in the United States.  As the emergency medicine physician and simulation director at NTTC, she trained hundreds of military medical personnel in the latest trauma advances to prepare them to provide medical care in austere environments. In 2016 she deployed to Iraq as part of a Shock Trauma Platoon. Andrea will also be familiar to many listeners as the co-host of The Emergency Mind podcast with previous guest Dr Dan Dworkis. Her voice has kept me and many anchored through this challenging time. Her most recent endeavour the Revitalize Women Physician Circle combines her experience with executive coaching, mentoring and leadership development.                                Dr Austin makes active, meaningful contributions to a number of key areas of medical practice including medical simulation education and training, military medicine, veterans' health, equity in medicine and female leadership, mentoring and advancing physician and healthcare worker wellbeing conversations and strategy.                   In this conversation Andrea allows me to explore her professional and personal journey wearing these hats. This conversation spans simulation as teaching tool, female leadership, coaching and mentoring through finding her voice as a podcast host.  Specifically, she reflects on her own experiences of career burnout, the role coaching has played in helping her to determine and align her values in the workplace to ultimately cultivate sustainable career satisfaction.  Regular listeners will be familiar with many of the themes we discuss and Andrea gives truly valuable perspective.         Andrea first introduced me to Ted Lasso and the #Medlasso movement inspired by Dr Mark Shapiro from the Explore the Space Podcast and no discussion of leadership and team culture would be complete without some #medlasso critique!Contact /Links/References:Dr Andrea Austinhttps://www.andreaaustinmd.comhttps://twitter.com/EMSimGalRevitalize Women Physician Circle https://www.peoplealwayshcc.com/revitalizePodcasts https://www.emergencymind.com/podcasthttps://feminem.org/women-in-medicine/ https://www.annemergmed.com/article/S0196-0644(17)30059-8/fulltexthttps://www.susandavid.com/about-emotional-agilityhttps://www.explorethespaceshow.comDisclaimer: The content in this podcast is not intended to constitute or be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

This special episode is s joint release from Simulcast and The Emergency Mind podcast, with Vic talking with co-hosts Dan Dworkis and Andrea Austin.  We start by discussing what Dan and Andrea mean by ‘Emergency Mind' – “Leveraging the mental models and lessons from his own practice of emergency medicine—as well as from experts in the military, business, and athletic worlds—how to train mentally to perform at your best when you're needed the most.”  For more check out the book and more podcast episodes. We chat about other resources – the book On Combat, Scott Weingart on Combat Aviation Paradigms - and how simulation can shape culture.  

The emergency mind is cool under pressure. But how do you get there? For most us, it's not an innate skill. Dan Dworkis MD, PhD lays out the path: graduated pressure, deliberate training, tired moves, and acknowledging the suboptimal.

I AM ALS was founded by Brian Wallach and his wife Sandra shortly after his diagnosis at the age of 37. He was given 6 months to live, and now 4 years later he is leading a revolution to find a cure. People often refer to ALS as rare, which is not really so. The lifetime risk is around 1 in 300. Since Lou Gehrig was diagnosed 80 years ago, available treatments have been shown to extend life a mere 3 months. I AM ALS supports research, legislation to fast track therapies, and provides critical resources to patients and caregivers. ALS is relentless, and so are they. The question is no longer if we'll find a cure for ALS, but when. This is an underfunded disease and every little bit makes a difference. We will match donations to I AM ALS up to $5000 -- get started here on our Stimulus Donation Page. And for your daily dose of positivity, follow Brian on Twitter.   We discuss: Deploying psychological countermeasures when you're under stress and dealing with uncertainty [05:40]; Whether the approach to managing pressure is universal for all stressful situations [11:15]; Different modes of thought:  system 1, system 2, and the recognition-primed decision-making model [15:50]; The deliberate path to becoming an expert (beyond just repetition) [20:00]; The value of training with an idea of graduated pressure [21:45]; What it means to borrow pressure from other events to succeed in something that's unrelated [25:50]; The Yerkes–Dodson law [28:45]; Why sangfroid is a good thing and how you do it [35:20]; The path to excellence which goes far beyond mastery of a specific skill [38:30]; How acknowledging the suboptimal nature of a situation when something goes wrong can help you “regroup, recover, and evolve out of any crisis” [41:50]; What does it mean to train your “tired moves” [42:55]; Dan's challenge for the Stimulus audience [52:44]; And more.

        In S 2 E 8 I am delighted to speak to Dr Dan Dworkis MD PhD FACEP.  Dan is an Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine at LAC and USC and is based in Santa Monica, California. He is notably the founder, creator and inspiration behind the Emergency Mind Podcast http://bit.ly/emindpod and most recently the Emergency Mind book  http://bit.ly/emindbook.       In this episode I have the opportunity to delve into his emergency mind.We discuss the evolution of his own journey as an Emergency physician and his passion for the subject of application of knowledge under pressure and how we might seek to improve this as any learned skill.        In the Emergency Mind podcast Dan explores this, taking experience and examples from experts in the ER and other fields and disciplines. This has allowed him overtime to develop mental models and cognitive frameworks that we might use and apply ourselves. In this conversation Dan explores some of the concepts, as relayed in the book in more detail. ( Sangfroid, Wabi-Sabi, Train your Tired Moves, Humans not Robots) He uses his own pursuit of mastery and love of martial arts  as an example to demonstrate the application and art of practice in performance science and psychology.       This is the book he wishes he had had as a trainee emergency physician but I feel it has continued applicability across the professional journey and indeed in general as we seek to improve our ability to respond to the challenges of our lives.         "Absorb what is useful, Discard what is not, Add what is uniquely your own"Bruce Lee Links to the Emergency Mind:https://twitter.com/TheEmergMindhttps://www.emergencymind.comBook: http://bit.ly/emindbookPodcast: http://bit.ly/emindpodThe Mind Full Medic Podcast website : https://www.themindfullmedicpodcast.comSubscribe, rate and review the podcast on iTunes here : https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-mind-full-medic-podcast/id1513559414Disclaimer: The content in this podcast is not intended to constitute or be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
