• Self-awareness and mindfulness training.
• Doing more of what is working rather than focusing on what is not working.
• Creating and maintaining healthy boundaries between work and non-work life areas.
• Lowering stress by learning e ective leadership skills, exerting control when possible over your work hours, and creating focus on work activities that provide the most meaning.
You can nd over 117 separate ways to help prevent burnout by visiting Dr. Drummond’s website at www. eHappyMD.com. I hope Dr. Drummond will be able to return to Tampa in the future to once again educate and assist members with stressors that cause burnout, depression, and beyond.
I salute all physicians from within our community for their endurance and tenacity while striving to preserve their profession. While you are caring for your patients, may HCMA be able to o er, if even in a small way, assistance in helping you focus on your own health and physiological well-being.
e vision of the HCMA Physician Wellness Program is to produce and sustain a healthy and resourceful medical community where physicians feel supported. e well-being of our members, their patients, and the community as a whole is at the core of our mission.
