During these uncertain, stressful times, we need to remain strong minded, eat well, rest well and feel confident in the work we are performing. The SC Academy of Family Physicians encourages our members to take their wellbeing serious.
We believe that physician wellbeing is an important issue that must be dealt with openly and proactively because it affects both patient safety and physician well-being. Taking deliberate steps to create an optimal clinical practice culture in which you can thrive can improve patient care, your quality of life, and the sustainability of your practice. In order to take care of your patients, you first have to care for yourself. Fortunately, there are resources to help you take action to help improve your own well-being, including establishing healthy eating habits, assessing and improving your sleep, practicing mindfulness, and taking deliberate steps to increase happiness with tools like meditation and exercise.
